Abstract

|
|
Treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion with mini-implant anchorage is discussed in relation to vertical control of the maxillary posterior dentoalveolar region and horizontal control of mandibular anterior teeth. A midpalatal mini-implant provided anchorage for intruding the maxillary posterior teeth. Mandibular mini-Implant implants were used to bring about labioversion of mandibular anterior teeth. After mandibular setback surgery, improvement of the facial profile was obtained both horizontally and vertically, Total treatment time was 11 months. Stable occlusion was maintained after 18 months of retention, The effectiveness and efficacy of mini-implants for the treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion are also discussed.
