Early treatment (two-phase) with headgear vs Late treatment (one-phase in adolescence) with headgear: Incidence of new incisal trauma
- Population
- Children or adolescents (age < 16 years) receiving orthodontic treatment to correct prominent upper front teeth (Class II Division 1 malocclusion)
- Intervention
- Early treatment (two-phase) with headgear
- Comparison

- Outcome
- Incidence of new incisal trauma
Early treatment (two-phase) with headgear led to lower incidence of new incisal trauma compared with late treatment (one-phase in adolescence) with headgear; GRADE not reported.

How reviews are matched to this question
Reviews word the same question differently. Four decision models (TypeSafe's Jev, Liquid AI's d1-ultra, SubQ Snap and Baseten's Elephant) judged each wording of the population, intervention, comparator and outcome against the others; two wordings count as the same when at least three of them agree and none clearly disagrees, and findings count as this question only when all four elements match. Timing, setting and subgroup never split a question: they are shown on each finding.
