Abstract
This study was prompted by the general lack of systematic
material concerning retention. The intent was to present a quantitative, descriptive appraisal of the changes in overbite
occurring during treatment and retention, and to see if any
significant correlations could be made between them or measurable
associated variables. To this end thirty-six cases were selected
from the files of the Department of Orthodontics, Boston University
School of Graduate Dentistry. Case selection was random and
arbitrary; the sole criteria was the availability of complete
records. These records included plaster casts, lateral cephalometric
radiographs, and panorex radiographs of the patient made
before treatment, at the time of appliance removal, and during
a period of eighteen to twenty-four months folloiwng appliance
removal. [TRUNCATED]
