combination with expansion therapy. There is a great deal of controversy in literature …

Class III malocclusion is a consequence of maxillary deficiency and/or mandibular
prognathism, often resulting in an anterior crossbite and a concave profile. 1 Young patients …

facemask treatment were less likely to need orthognathic surgery compared with untreated …

In this cephalometric investigation, we evaluated the correction of Class III malocclusion in
subjects who had attained postpubertal skeletal maturity and considered whether treatment …
