Table 2 Skeletal effects on the maxillary complex
Simulation | Clinical protocol | Movement of maxillary complex | Details of maxillary movement |
|---|---|---|---|
A | FM [−30] | Counter-clockwise rotation | Forward and upward movement; slight posterior downward movement |
B | Pal-MI-FM [−30] | Translates forward and downward | Equal forward and downward movement |
C | Ant-MI-FM [−15] | Counter-clockwise rotation | Forward and upward movement; entire maxilla moves upward |
D | Ant-MI-FM [−30] | Translates; slight clockwise rotation | Forward and downward movement |
E | Ant-MI-FM [−45] | Clockwise rotation | Downward and backward movement; nasal bone protracted forward |
F | Ant-MI-FM [+30] | Counter-clockwise rotation | Forward and upward movement; entire maxilla moves upward |
G | Post-MI-FM [−30] | Translates forward | Significant forward movement; slight downward movement |
H | Post-MI-FM [−45] | Clockwise rotation | Slight forward, but mainly downward movement of maxilla |
