For Patients in the Permanent Dentition with a Class III Malocclusion
The Myobrace® Permanent Dentition Class III series, also known as the P-3® series, is a specialized three-stage appliance system designed for treating Class III malocclusion in the permanent dentition. Ideally, Class III malocclusion should be addressed early (between ages three and eight) using the Interceptive Class III appliance series. However, if early treatment is missed and the malocclusion persists into the permanent dentition, the P-3® series provides a targeted solution. This system works by pushing the upper front teeth forward and the lower front teeth back using a 3mm offset bite, while simultaneously correcting the underlying habits that contributed to the Class III malocclusion. The appliances are often used in conjunction with BWS and Myolay™ arch development techniques to optimize treatment outcomes.
