Long-Term Mandibular Alignment Changes by yerly ramirez is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study evaluated the stability and relapse of mandibular anterior alignment in 31 four premolar extraction cases over a 20-year postretention period. Findings indicated that crowding increased from 10 to 20 years postretention, with only 10% of cases achieving clinically acceptable alignment at the end of the study. The results highlighted the unpredictable nature of postretention changes, with no clear predictors for long-term success based on initial treatment characteristics.
