The age factor, growth pattern, excessive mandibular and asymmetric mandibular growth that affects the stability of treatment will be discussed. Long-term treatment records will be presented to illustrate the importance of growth after early orthopedic treatment.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the factors that affect the stability of early Class III treatment.
