| Abstract: | In the diagnosis and treatment planning of Class III malocclusions, a distinction must be made between pseudo- and true Class III skeletal patterns. The optimal time to initiate treatment is an important consideration. The Alexander Discipline treatment mechanics includes the face mask, chin cap, Class III elastics, and/or lip bumper and rapid palatal expansion. In the nongrowing patient, surgical options are used. The clinical treatment of two patients are presented. |
