An asymmetric magnetic reverse Twin-block applian ce for the treatment of a skeletal Class III malocclusion: a case report

Abstract

The treatment of a skeletal Class III malocclusion with accompanying mandibular asymmetry is an orthodontic challenge. A skeletal Class III may be associated with a retrognathic maxilla, a prognathic mandible and a mandibular asymmetry can be of dental or skeletal origin or in various combinations. Timely treatment with appropriate biomechanics is crucial for an acceptable and stable result.
