Treatment of pattern III with maxillary protraction supported by mini-implants (MAMP technique)

Abstract

In the type III facial growth pattern, craniofacial disharmony is observed, which may be a maxillary retrusion or mandibular advancement as the most diagnosed postures. This case report aims to report the use of the technique (MAMP) in a patient, who is diagnosed with a growing type III facial and skeletal pattern, as well as its efficacy and adverse effect. For the treatment, the hybrid palatine circuit breaker with mini implants were used, associated with mini mandibular implants, joined by class III elastic. Obtaining satisfactory skeletal result for treatment of pattern III in patients in the final phase of growth.
