Class III malocclusions are skeletal deformities caused by the effect of genetic and environmental factors on the regular development process of the jaws. These deformities occur when the development of the maxilla is affected negatively, or the mandible is overdeveloped, or when a combination of the two occurs. 1,2 During patients' growth and development, this deformity can be corrected by the stimulation of maxillary growth. For this purpose, an acrylic appliance is bonded to the teeth, and a face mask is applied to this acrylic appliance. However, in these treatment techniques, the success rate of the orthopaedic effect is arguably relative. The most important reasons for this are the partial loss of force in tooth support during the use of tooth-supported appliances, relapses of
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
