Abstract
A three-directional bone-borne palatal distractor was produced, and this distractor system can be used for the treatment of skeletal class 3 patients with maxillary hypoplasia for its advantages of shortening the overall treatment time and reducing the scar formation. However, further animal and clinical studies are essential to determine the biological response of soft and hard tissues.
