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.

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...
