Summary

The study compares use of intraoral technique for maxillary advancement and extra oral technique with hep of protocol called Alt-RAMEC which depends on repeated expansion and constriction of maxilla to help in maxillary protraction

Detailed description

Delivering hybrid expander supported by 2 miniscrews in palate to perform Alt-RAMEC protocol for 9 weeks then intervention group will start protraction using class iii elastics on modified lingual arch with hooks in canine area and 2 miniscrews labially between lower lateral and canine while control group use face mask for protraction of maxilla

Conditions

• Orthodontic Appliance Complication

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Intraoral protraction device	Use of modified lingual arch with indirect anchorage from screws between lower lateral incisor and lower canine to protract maxilla after ALT-RAMEC protocol
DEVICE	Extraoral protraction device	Facemask which is an extraoral appliance used for maxillary protraction
