[Interceptive therapy of Class III].

Abstract

The early morphofunctional reequilibration of skeletal III Class pattern is one of the keys of resolution of this complex and dramatic pathology. Long-term controls suggest the use of Quad-Helix and III Class elastic traction as soon as possible, in order to correct premaxillary and maxillary hypoplasia eventually complicated by a posterior cross-bite. The simplicity of interceptive therapy is inversally proportional to the benefits that could be obtained and which are reliable and stable.
