Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical application value of padded molars. Methods Totally 54 cases of malocclusions from Department of Orthodontics of West China Hospital of Stomatology were received occlusal pads by optiband ultra band bongding at the early stage of orthodontic treatment (1th-5thmonth). The lateral cephalometric radiographs before and after treatments were analyzed. The effects on vertical height of molars after using padded molars were observed. Results The padded molars did not affect the vertical height without statistical difference (P>0.05). Conclusions Temporary using padded molars were feasible in orthodontic treatment. Padded molars may be widely applied in clinical orthodontics. Key words: Molar/SU; Orthodontics, corrective; Malocclusion/SU
