    Abstract:
    This article describes the combined use of maxillary expansion and a protraction facemask in the correction of a skeletal Class III malocclusion after the patient's pubertal growth spurt. Treatment efficacy and the effects on facial and smile esthetics are presented. The nonextraction option with an arch-size increase and stability issues is discussed.
