Authors

Experimental study compares skeletal changes from facemask and functional appliance therapy in patients, suggesting facemask is superior.

PAF therapy significantly improved the ANB angle by 4.1° compared to 1.7° with FA treatment.
Skeletal changes were assessed using cephalometric records focusing on sagittal and vertical differences.
Functional appliances showed modest effects, mainly on mandibular positioning, while PAF ensured better vertical control.
Early intervention with facemasks is recommended for effective maxillary protraction and vertical control in Class III patients.

Giannini et al. (2025) studied this question.
