Abstract

Early treatment of skeletal and occlusal disorders improve the harmony and function of the craniofacial complex. Corrective procedures, reduces the need for extractions of permanent teeth, and gives psychological benefits to the patients. In addition, it provides the patient’s condition to express his potential growth. The face protraction mask is an excellent choice for the treatment of class III when combined with rapid maxillary expansion and continues functional oral appliance treatment.

In this article we present the therapy to a patient of 7 years old with class III malocclusion and the evolution of the case for six years.
