March’s Tip: A Class III Growing Patient With A Mandibular Deficency

By Dr. Milton Pedrazzi

A Class II growing patient with a mandibular deficiency is presented. Treatment began on 8/07/85.  First, determine the mandibular growth direction of the patient. Growth pattern was Clockwise/Neutral.  The question then becomes whether to use a Bionator or a Twin Block appliance to advance the mandible.  The growth direction determines whether to make a neutral appliance, a bite opening appliance or a bite closing appliance. This case called for a neutral type Bionator.
