TREATMENT OF EARLY CLASS III MALOCCLUSION WITH BUÑO APPLIANCE
Abstract: Skeletal Class III malocclusion is one of the most challenging, complex and difficult problems to treat. Functional orthopedic appliances can produce favorable outcomes during early mixed dentition in cases with Class III malocclusion. The purpose of this case report was to present a successfully treated 8-years-old female patient having skeletal Class III malocclusion due to maxillary retrusion by means of a simple Class III corrector, the bimaxillar prognathism upper plate according to Buño. Key words: Class III malocclusion, Class III corrector ERKEN SINIF 3 MALOKLUZYONUN BUÑO APAREYİ İLE TEDAVİSİÖz İskeletsel Sınıf III malokluzyon tedavisi en zor ve karmaşık problemlerden biridir. Fonksiyonel ortopedik apareyler erken karışık dişlenme dönemimdeki Sınıf III malokluzyonlu vakalarda olumlu sonuçlar oluşturabilir. Bu vaka raporunun amacı, maksiller retrüzyona bağlı olarak gelişen iskeletsel Sınıf III malokluzyonlu 8 yaşındaki bir kız çocuğunun basit bir Sınıf III düzeltme apareyi (“Buno apareyi) ile başarılı şekilde tedavisini göstermektir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Sınıf III maloklüzyon, Sınıf III
