Abstract This study evaluated quantitatively, alveolar bone height and thickness in the central and lateral lower incisors and apical root resorption in all roots after using Herbst appliance. The sample comprised 23 patients (11 men, 12 women), mean ages 15.76 ± 1.75 years, presenting class II division 1, treated with Herbst appliance. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were obtained before and after Herbst treatment. The vertical alveolar bone level and the alveolar bone thickness of lower incisors were assessed. Vestibular (V), lingual (L) and total (T) bone thicknesses were assessed at the crestal (1), midroot (2) and apical (3) levels of the lower incisors. The apical root resorption was determined using axial guided navigation of CBCT images. The Student’s t-Test and Wilcoxon t-Test were used to compare dependent samples in parametric and non-parametric cases, respectively. The results were considered at a significance level of 5%. The lower incisors showed no statistical significance for the vertical alveolar bone level. The alveolar bone thickness of lower incisors significantly reduced after the treatment at V1, V2, V3, T1 and significantly increased at L2. Apical root resorption was detected by CBCT in 57.96% of 980 roots that underwent treatment. The CBCT, for allowing three-dimensional evaluation of dental roots, showed that Herbst appliance induces mild apical root resorption, mostly in the anchoring teeth, and the tooth movement induced by this appliance causes alveolar bone reduction on the vestibular side of lower incisors.
