Abstract
A number of treatment options for Class III malocclusions have been reported. Early intervention incorporating growth modification allows the clinician to attempt mandibular growth restraint and promote the forward growth of the maxilla. At the optimal age for growth modification, rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and protraction headgear can be used to produce these beneficial changes. The following case report describes the management of an 8.5-year-old patient who underwent treatment using RME, protraction headgear and fixed appliances.
