Myofunctional Appliance for Class III Malocclusion: A review

الملخص

Early management of Class III malocclusion poses many challenges for orthodontic specialists, as the cause of this malocclusion can be multifactorial, being either skeletal, dental, or both skeletal and dental. The aim of this comprehensive review was to shed light on up-to-date orthopedic appliances that can be used in the growth modification of Class III malocclusion along with other treatment modalities that can be used in growing patients for early correction of skeletal/dental components of class III malocclusion. Furthermore, a review of bone-anchored appliances and their combined use with the orthopedic appliances is also discussed in this study.
