Summary

This experimental study aims to evaluate the efficiency of the orthodontic removable traction appliance in the treatment of skeletal class III malocclusion. The study sample will consist of 44 patients with skeletal class III malocclusion. The sample will be allocated randomly into two groups: experimental group and control group. The dentoskeletal changes will be assessed by using lateral cephalometric radiographs before treatment and after obtaining 3mm positive overjet.

Conditions

  • Class III Malocclusion

Interventions

DEVICE

Vacuum plate

Vacuum plate with two hooks between lateral incisor and canine in each side will be applied on the lower arch.

DEVICE

Rapid maxillary expander

Rapid maxillary expander will be applied in the maxilla to disarticulate maxillary sutures to allow more efficient forward protraction of the maxilla.

DEVICE

Class III elastics

Class III elastic traction from upper first molar to the hook in both side will be applied.
