Abstract
Treatment of class III malocclusions remains a real challenge in orthodontics. Traditionally, treatment consists of devices that use patients' teeth as anchorage. That can cause undesirable effects on teeth and limited skeletal effects on jaws. Recently, the use of miniscrews has brought new opportunities for the success of treatment of these malocclusions. Skeletal anchorage increases the treatment effects on the jaws and also increases the limit of the patient age for treatment of these malocclusions. In this article, two cases with skeletal class III malocclusion treated with miniscrews on both jaws in early adolescent patients are presented.
