Abstract
Early treatment of skeletal Class III patients is usually handled with the use of maxillary protraction face mask. The results of this orthopedic therapy are often accompanied by adverse dentoalveolar effects. An alternative treatment is skeletal anchorage comprised of temporary anchorage devices (TADs), which uses two titanium plates fixed with mini implants placed in the zygomatic process of the maxilla and two side plates between the lower canine and right and left and the use of intermaxillary elastics. This results in maxillary advancement and improvement of facial aesthetics while reducing dentoalveolar adverse effects.
