1. Anterior anti-mandibular: for smaller patients because of growth and development, so each stage of the treatment method is different, and to be corrected in stages.
For example, the orthodontic treatment in the period of milk teeth is mainly maxillary teeth and jaw pads lingual reed orthodontic treatment, the treatment in the period of replacement teeth is mainly removable orthodontic treatment, functional orthodontic treatment or fixed orthodontic treatment, and the treatment in the early period of permanent teeth is commonly used in the treatment of maxillary expansion bow treatment or anterior traction treatment, etc..
For refractory bony anterior antomandibular, observation is needed in early childhood, and orthodontic treatment or surgical combined orthodontic treatment can be carried out after adulthood.
2. Posterior antimaxilla: Posterior antimaxilla needs to be treated with maxillary expanders and movable orthodontic appliances, reciprocal traction treatment, or brief design and reciprocal traction treatment as early as possible, and for severe bony posterior antimaxilla, it needs to be treated with orthognathic surgical operation.
For severe bony retromolarism, orthognathic surgery is needed. Different degrees of the same disease have different treatment methods, and the treatment should be in strict accordance with the doctor’s prescription.
