Abstract
There are various forms of skeletal Type III abnormalities. The most common occurs when the maxilla is underdeveloped and the mandible grows ahead of it. In severe cases, skeletal Type III abnormalities are considered the most unattractive as well as being one of the most difficult to treat in orthodontics. A simplified approach is presented for using the Frankel III appliance to treat skeletal Type III abnormalities in young children.
