Treatment of Class III orthodontic cases in childhood: case report.
Two Class III cases are described which are treated first during childhood with orthopedics and later by a second stage with orthodontics using bonded braces. One case was treated solely with a chin cup and the other with a chin cup, disjunction and anterior traction. Profile and occlusion changes are analyzed and the orthopedic effect of the treatment is discussed.
