Clinical Feasibility and Skeletal Effects of Digitally Guided Supragingival Miniplates for Herbst Therapy in Late Adolescents: A Pilot Study

: Digitally guided supragingival miniplates for bone-supported Herbst therapy appear to be a feasible and minimally invasive approach for the treatment of skeletal Class II malocclusion in late adolescents. This protocol achieved clinically meaningful mandibular advancement while minimizing dentoalveolar side effects. Given the pilot design, small sample size, and lack of a control group, further controlled studies with larger samples and long-term follow-up are required.
