Abstract:Objective To observe the morphological changes of temporomandibular joint in children with Angel's class Ⅱ classification 2 malocclusion with Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).Methods A total of 82 children with Class Ⅱ and 2 classifications were selected from January 2016 to October 2020 in our hospital. They were divided into control and study groups by random number table, with 41 cases in each group. The control group was treated with self-locking brackets, and the study group was treated with bracketless invisible aligners. CBCT was used to measure the relative angle, face height, joint space, and condyle mutation of the temporomandibular joint before and after treatment in the two groups.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the upper alveolar seat angle (SNA), lower alveolar seat angle (SNB), upper and lower alveolar seat angle (ANB), mandibular plane angle (MP-FH) lower front angle (Y-axis angle), the overall height (N-Me), the upper height (N-ANS), and the lower height (ANS-Me) difference before and after treatment between the two groups (P > 0.05). The difference values of the lower inner angle of the intersection between the long axis of the upper central incisor and SN plane (U1-Sn) and the intersection angle between the long axis of the upper central incisor and the root of the nose and the upper alveolar seat (U1-NA) in the study group were higher than those in the control group before and after treatment (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in suprarticular space, anterior space, posterior space, condyle height, internal and external diameter, and anterior and posterior diameter between the two groups before and after treatment (P > 0.05).Conclusion Bracketless invisible aligners and self-locking bracket appliances were used in children with Class Ⅱ and Class Ⅱ malocclusion with certain changes in temporomandibular joint parameters, and the condyles tended to move forward. The locking bracket appliance is more suitable for children with angelic Class Ⅱ and Class Ⅱ malocclusion, and can obtain better orthodontic effect within the same orthodontic time.
