New approach of maxillary protraction using modified C-palatal plates in Class III patients

Maxillary protraction is the conventional treatment for growing Class III patients with maxillary deficiency, but it has undesirable dental effects. The purpose of this report is to introduce an alternative modality of maxillary protraction in patients with dentoskeletal Class III malocclusion using a modified C-palatal plate connected with elastics to a face mask. This method improved skeletal measurements, corrected overjet, and slightly improved the profile. The patients may require definitive treatment in adolescence or adulthood. The modified C- palatal plate enables nonsurgical maxillary advancement with maximal skeletal effects and minimal dental side effects.[Korean J Orthod 2015;45(4):209-214]
