Medical UniversityVenue BannerConclusion▪ After 8 months of MMPA therapy, a positive overjet was successfully achieved.▪ Maxillary forward movement, proclination of upper incisors, and a slight increase in mandibular plane angle were observed.▪ Class I molar relation was maintained, and space was opened for impacted canines.▪ The patient exhibited improved facial aesthetics and a balanced profile. ▪ MMPA successfully corrected Skeletal Class III malocclusion in a growing patient.▪ It offers a comfortable alternative to facemask therapy for better compliance.▪ Early protraction therapy lowers the need for future orthognathic surgery. ▪ Skeletal Class III malocclusion arises from maxillary restriction or mandibular excess.▪ Early intervention (8-11 years) aids maxillary protraction and prevents worsening.▪ MMPA offers a compliance-friendly alternative to facemask therapy for specs wearers.▪ 11-year-old female with Class III skeletal base,  -3mm overjet, and impacted 13, 23.▪ Phase I: MMPA (12-14 hrs/day, 350-450g) for maxillary protraction.▪ Phase II: Fixed appliance therapy for molar distalization, alignment and finishing.▪ Pre-treatment and mid-treatment extraoral, intraoral, and radiographic records analyzed.
