We present the orthodontic treatment of a 20-year-old Chinese man with the moderate skeletal Class III malocclusion. The usages of the temporary anchorage devices and the surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) have provided a variety of options for the treatment of Class III malocclusion.

M olar distalization for the treatment of Class II malocclusions has historically depended on patient compliance with intra-and extraoral auxiliaries. 1-5 In recent years, " non-compliance " devices such as the Distal Jet,* 6,7 Jones Jig,* 8 Pendulum,** 9 and repelling magnets 10 have been developed. The problem of anchorage loss during molar distaliza-tion with these appliances has not been so...

Conventional devices used for surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion are tooth-borne. Dental fixation entails a number of possible drawbacks such as loss of anchorage, skeletal relapse during and after the expansion period, cortical fenestration and buccal root resorption. A bone-borne titanium device with interchangeable expansion modules, used with a callous distraction policy, is presen...

Introduction:Treatment of hyperdivergent skeletal Class II is one the most challenging for orthodontists. With advent temporary anchorage devices, patients who previously had an indication orthognathic surgery may be favored with counter-clockwise rotation mandible, resulting from vertical control posterior teeth. Also, cases increased incisors display at rest benefit these biomechanics in ante...
