Abstract:
The present report describes orthodontic treatment of a patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion and maxillary hypopla-sia. To correct the retrusive maxilla, the treatment plan included an intra-oral removable device. It had the advantages of good patient cooperation, ease of construction and effective modification. Forward growth of the maxilla, minimal down-ward and backward rotation of the mandible and improved facial profile esthetics were achieved.
