Orthodontic camouflage treatment of pseudo‐Class III malocclusion on skeletal class III Base complicated with canine impaction treated with temporary anchorage devices: A case report

Abstract

With conventional mechanics to protract the upper posterior teeth for correcting Class III molar relationships, such as intra-arch mechanics, face mask reversepull headgear protraction, and interarch Class III elastics, there are some adverse effects, including diminished patient compliance, the possibility of losing anchorage, and extrusion of upper molars and lower incisors with counterclockwise rotation of the occlusal plane. Protraction force should be directed through the center of resistance of the upper posterior teeth to prevent these side effects.
