The efficacy of Hybrid Hyrax-Mentoplate combination in early Class III treatment: a novel approach and pilot study
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to assess the skeletal, dental and soft tissue effects of a specific treatment protocol in consecutively treated patients who presented with a Class III malocclusion. Treatment involved the use of a Hybrid Hyrax (HH) in the maxilla, a Mentoplate in the mandible and the application of continuous intra-oral Class III elastics.
