Abstract
The present report describes orthodontic treatment of a patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion and maxillary hypoplasia.
To correct the retrusive maxilla, the treatment plan included an intra-oral removable device. It had the advantages of
good patient cooperation, ease of construction and effective modification. Forward growth of the maxilla, minimal downward
and backward rotation of the mandible and improved facial profile esthetics were achieved.
