Abstract

Orthopedic appliances such as palatal expanders and facemasks have been successfully used for young patients with Class III malocclusions. A modified rapid palatal expansion (RPE) appliance in conjunction with a facemask can be used for correction of transverse and sagittal discrepancies in the initial phase of treatment for these patients.
