Changes in soft tissue profile during the treatment of Class III malocclusion

The changes in soft tissue profile for 66 Angle's Class III malocclusion subjects treated either with the Function Regulator, or Upper Removable Appliances, or the Edgewise Appliance were assessed by comparing cephalometric radiographs taken before and after correction of the anterior occlusion. While the mean soft tissue profile in all groups improved in relation to a Control Group, the FR.III Group demonstrated the most profound change.
