Physiologic recovery after
cervical traction therapy |
Class II malocclusion corrected by distal movement of maxillary molars. Mandibular rotation was also present and maxillary growth was redirected. Changes remained stable. |

Early or late cervical traction therapy of Class II malocclusion in the mixed dentition |
The use of cervical headgear was more efficient in terms of skeletal changes in early mixed dentition. ANB angle decreased during the same period. |

Changes in dental arch dimensions by use of an orthopedic cervical headgear in
Class II correction |
Class II malocclusion corrected by improving overjet and keeping overbite unchanged. There was an increase in upper arch width and, as a result, lower arch as well. Upper arch length also increased. |

Orthopedic cervical headgear with an expanded inner bow in Class II correction |
All patients had Class II malocclusion successfully corrected. There was restriction of forward maxillary displacement and normal mandibular growth expression. |

A 3-dimensional analysis of molar movement during headgear treatment |
Class II malocclusion corrected by distalization with extrusion of
maxillary molars and arch expansion. |

Maxillary expansion in Class II correction with orthopedic cervical headgear.
Posteroranterior cephalometric study |
Malocclusion was corrected and Class I relationship reestablished in all cases. There was maxillary expansion. As a result of maxillary expansion, there was spontaneous mandibular increase. |

Mandibular changes in skeletal Class II patients treated with Kloehn cervical headgear |
Skeletal Class II malocclusion correction was effective and stable. The ANB angle improved, there was restriction of maxillary displacement and mandibular rotation, in addition to extrusion of maxillary molars. |

The effects of early headgear treatment on dental arches and craniofacial morphology:
a report of 2 years randomized study. |
There was an increase in maxillary and mandibular arch length and width.
The use of cervical headgear proved effective to treat moderate crowding during early mixed dentition. |

Cephalometric analysis of molar and anterior tooth movement during cervical headgear treatment in relation to growth patterns |
There was extrusion of maxillary molars and mandibular rotation
in patients with good growth pattern. |

Facial profile changes in early Class II correction with cervical headgear |
Cervical headgear proved effective to correct Class II malocclusion, as it minimized overbite regardless of patient’s growth pattern. |

Effects of cervical headgear on overbite against the background of existing growth patterns |
Class II malocclusion was corrected by the cervical headgear. There was extrusion of maxillary molars. Treatment was followed by a decrease in maxillary convexity. There was an increase in lip seal. |

Effects on the maxilla and cranial base caused by cervical headgear: A longitudinal study |
There was restriction of maxillary displacement in relation to the cranial base,
in addition to retrusion of the A point. |
