Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of Headgearactivator appliance treating Class Ⅱ division 1 malocclusion on the coordination between nose,lip and the chin. Methods 38 patients with skeletal Angle ClassⅡmalocclusion were divided into two groups (Headgearactivator group and control group),19 patients in each group.The Xray lateral cephalograms of two groups of patients were photographed before and after treatment and the angle and line spacing was measured.SPSS 11.0 software package was used to calculate the mean and the standard deviation.The paired ttest was performed to compare the changes of the measurements. Results LsE,LiE,U1Stm and the angle of NsLsFH,LsNsLi,LsNsPg′ decreased,SnStms,StmiMe′ and the angle of NsPg′FH,A′LsFH,B′LiFH,CmSnLs,LiB′Pg′, NsPg′FH, Z,GSnPg′ increased,and there was statistically significant difference(P<0.05). Conclusions Headgearactivator can reduce upper and lower lip protrusion,improve incompetent lips,recover the coordination between nose,lips and chin to a certain extend.Soft tissue profile tends to be nature and straightstyled.
