Class III Malocclusion
Conditions
Brief summary
to compare Palatal and buccal protraction using plates assisted with facemask in growing class III patients
Detailed description
A randomized controlled clinical trial was adopted in this study. A total of 20 growing Class III patients were selected from patients seeking orthodontic treatment. The participants were recruited from the department of Orthodontics at Faculty of Dentistry, Mansoura University. No active advertisement was used for participant recruitment, and instead, a convenience sample was formed.
