Abstract:
In examined patients (45 persons aged 12-15) malocclusion Class III was caused by mesial position of mandible and it has dentoalveolar form. Significant increase of mandible body length indicated more intensive mandible growth because of reverse overbite. The use of Postnikov appliance caused changes in interposition of front teeth of maxilla and mandible due to upper dental arch extension thus normalizing occlusion.
