Abstract
The conventional tooth-borne expander (type D) enhanced the effect of maxillary protraction. Facemask alone (type A) resulted in more anterior displacement of the maxilla than the combination of facemask and bone-borne expanders (types B and C). The clinician should be aware of the initial stresses and movements from different expanders with facemask found in this study and confirm the movements in future clinical Class III studies.
