The Don Spring Memorial Oration--Part II: early management of the developing Class III malocclusion.
It was apparent from Dr Turley's presentation that many cases, previously thought to be untreatable by conventional orthodontic means, can be managed with a high degree of success using the techniques described. It is hoped that this overview of management of the developing Class III malocclusion will provide a rationale, a means and a reason for all of us to feel comfortable in treating these interesting and sometimes difficult cases.
