Abstract
|
|
|
|
Face mask treatment with a rapid palatal expander is common in children with Class III malocclusion and maxillary deficiency. However, it can cause anchorage loss and dental side effects. To overcome these disadvantages, the use of skeletal anchorage such as miniplates in the infrazygomatic crest area or palate has been reported. This clinical case report presents face mask treatment in skeletal Class III adolescent with maxillary skeletal expander (MSE). MSE has been developed for the maxillary expansion in adults, but it can be used as a skeletal anchorage for face mask treatment in children. The post-treatment profile was significantly improved without any dental side effects.
