“…The null hypothesis concerning the second aim could thus also be rejected. These findings in untreated individuals are in line with the cross-sectional findings of Raadsheer et al (18) who showed an increase in masseter muscle thickness in children with increasing age, and with longitudinal studies looking at masseter muscle thickness (21) and bite force (22,31) changes during functional appliance treatment. Ideally for the control group, it would have been preferable to include only Class II malocclusion growing individuals.…”

“…In addition, it was found that for patients with class I and class II malocclusions, bite force increased immediately after debonding the fixed appliances and increased further after 3 months of retention [ 8 ]. This was in disagreement with another study, in which it was found that bite force decreased immediately after debonding in skeletal class II patients [ 9 ]. It has also been found that the bite force of patients with posterior cross bite decreased immediately after orthodontic treatment, but increased to the same level as subjects with neutral occlusion after the retention period [ 7 ].…”

Previously, bite force, occlusal contact and pain were investigated in orthodontic patients with moderate-to-severe malocclusion, but not in patients with minor malocclusion. The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in bite force, teeth in occlusal contact and pain in orthodontic patients with minor crowding before orthodontic treatment (T0), after bonding (T1), during treatment (T2), post-treatment (T3) and during retention (T4). In total, 27 patients (21 females, 6 males, median age 15.3 years) with neutral occlusion and normal craniofacial morphology were treated with non-extractions and fixed appliances. Differences in the registered data were analysed by a mixed linear model with repeated measures. Bite force and teeth in occlusal contact significantly decreased between T0 and T1 (p < 0.0001, respectively) and between T0 and T2 (p < 0.01, respectively). Bite force and teeth in occlusal contact significantly increased between T1 and T4 (p < 0.05, p < 0.0001, p < 0.001, respectively) and between T2 and T4 (p < 0.05, p < 0.0001, p < 0.01, respectively). No significant difference in pain was found. The results indicate that bite force and teeth in occlusal contact significantly decreased during treatment and reached baseline level at retention. The findings may prove valuable for informing orthodontic patients with minor malocclusion.

“…Muscular adaptation takes place within the first three months followed by a substantial reduction in muscular changes within the next three months after active orthodontic treatment (Varga et al, 2017). Al-Khateeb et al (2015) measured OBF change after orthodontic treatment with activator reported a significant reduction in bite force, which is considered to be due to the changes in muscular activity when wearing the functional appliance, also confirms the findings of this research.…”
