Long-term skeletodental stability of mandibular symphyseal distraction osteogenesis: Tooth-borne vs. hybrid distraction appliances.
CONCLUSION: Changes found are consistent with those found in untreated and orthodontically treated individuals over time. The long-term changes in the current patient sample can be determined to be expected and acceptable. MSDO is a viable treatment option with the use of either a hybrid or tooth-borne appliance.
