Long-term stability of Class III malocclusion nonextraction treatment

Conclusions In the long-term, nonextraction Class III malocclusion treatment demonstrated clinical stability in 88.9% of the patients. The dentoskeletal improvements obtained with treatment remained stable during the posttreatment period. The greater amount of mandibular growth after active treatment was the major variable that determined instability of Class III malocclusion treatment.
