Overview

Randomized trial assesses facial soft tissue changes in growing Class III malocclusion patients after two expansion methods, suggesting effective treatment options.

Key Points

  • Significant facial soft tissue changes were observed following maxillary expansion treatments in growing patients with class III malocclusion.
  • The facemask and hybrid hyrax treatment showed decreased measurements in key angles, while the MSE showed notable alterations in lip positioning.
  • Utilizing cephalometric and extraoral photographs, the trial evaluated treatment impacts on facial aesthetics across three groups of patients.
  • These findings indicate both treatment methods effectively modify soft tissue profiles, providing favorable outcomes for facial aesthetics.
