MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 50 patients, ages 11-14, will be recruited for the maxillary protraction cohort. The maxillary surgery cohort consists of 50 patients, ages 16-21, who will undergo LeFort 1 maxillary advancement surgery. Patients with additional medical or cognitive handicaps were excluded from the study.
RESULTS: Current recruitment of patients is on track to complete the study within the proposed recruitment period.
CONCLUSION: This observational trial is collecting information that will examine dental, skeletal, financial and quality-of-life issues from both research cohorts.
