Early Treatment of Class III Malocclusion with a Tandem Traction Bow Appliance (TTBA) – A Progress Case Report | Chapter 21 | Issues and Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 9

 Because Class III malocclusion worsens with age, the facial growth of Class III malocclusion deteriorates. A variation in the sagittal connection of the maxilla and the mandible, which is characterised by a defective maxilla, a retrognathic mandible, or a combination of the two, characterises Class III malocclusion. Early orthopaedic treatment of Class III malocclusions, prior to a growth spurt, provides for favourable outcomes by restoring facial balance, changing maxillofacial growth and development, and, in many cases, averting future surgical treatment by enhancing stability. For orthopaedic and orthodontic treatment of class III malocclusion, there are a variety of treatment options accessible in the literature, including intraoral and extraoral appliances. The biggest challenge with extraoral anchoring has been patient compliance due to its aesthetic appearance. An intraoral modified tandem appliance for maxillary protraction has been clinically employed to obtain successful outcomes without relying largely on patient participation, according to the case study.
