Orthodontic treatment after adenoidectomy patients: effect on jaw relations in saggital plane
Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery, 06/17/09

Gupta N et al. - Adenoid hypertrophy is a normal phenomenon seen in young children. When adenoids are large and producing these effects, adenoidectomy is necessary. Adenoidectomy immensely benefits such patients but they may still continue to be habitual mouth breathers.

Immediate orthodontic treatment of such patients will improve facial profile and lead to class 1 occlusion.
