Treatment of Skeletal Class III Malocclusion with the Biofunctional System
Volume 49 : Number 11 : Page 717 : Nov 2015
When a skeletal Class III malocclusion is diagnosed early enough, the preferred treatment is orthopedic, involving maxillary traction with facemasks - often combined with rapid maxillary expansion - followed by orthodontic correction using Class III elastics. If the problem is not diagnosed until the permanent dentition, however, the treatment options are limited to compensatory or surgical-orthodontic therapy. Surgical treatment may produce the most esthetic results, but is less commonly performed because of its risks and expense.
