Treatment Protocol for Skeletal Class III Malocclusion in Growing Patients

Maxillary retrusion in growing patients due to maxillary deficiency often leading to skeletal Class III malocclusion, is treated by various means which include either extraoral or intraoral appliances. Extraoral appliances embrace face mask, reverse chin cup, reverse headgear, and protraction headgear. Intraoral appliances are tongue appliance, fixed tongue appliance, tongue plate, Frankel III, miniplate in combination with Class III elastics, and miniscrew in combination with Class III elastics. Primary focus in this article will be concentrated on maxillary deficiency in growing patients (pseudo-Class III).IJSRED - International Journal of Scientific Research and Engineering Developmen
