Transverse dentoalveolar changes of mandibular canine and premolar regions after lip bumper therapy: a retrospective CBCT study
LB significantly expanded the mandibular transverse dimension dentally, with permanent canine and premolars erupting more buccally. However, it does not increase the skeletal transverse dimension of the alveolar bone at the canine and first premolar regions. Further studies are needed to evaluate the long-term effects of LB.
