Abstract
- The clinical cases presented here involve skeletal Class III malocclusion cases treated with maxillary protraction in a relaticely short period of time with good results. When used on young patients, satisfactory results were obtained in a short period of time, but even for those with less growth potential remainig, skeletal enhancement was still evident. However, data on the criteria of diagnosis or relapse following maxillary protraction is limited despite the number of studies on the subiect. The present study could not incude the observations on retention and relapse, and further studies in the future may include such observations.
