Effects of facial mask treatment are attributed to accelerated maxillary growth and inhibited counter-clockwise total rotation of the mandibular corpus: A structural superimposition study

Accelerated maxillary sutural growth and inhibited counter-clockwise total rotation of mandibular corpus growth attributed to facial mask treatment may contribute to improvements in Class III malocclusion. The greater the acceleration of maxillary sutural growth due to facial mask treatment, the greater the increase in maxillary counter-clockwise rotation.
