A retrospective cephalometric study investigated the differences in the skeletal pattern of the Class III malocclusion. Thirty Caucasian adolescents with an anterior mandibular displacement on closure were compared to an equal number without such a displacement before treatment, at the end of treatment and at least 1 year out of retention.
