Age-dependent effects of Delaire facemask therapy for class III malocclusion
Morphological changes of the sutures appear to have a decisive influence on the success of RME/DFM therapy. The age-dependent reactions of pterygopalatomaxillary and transverse palatine sutures represent a further main therapeutic effect of DFM treatment in addition to those described by Delaire and explain the different changes in palate length before and after the age of 12. If the maximum effect of RME/DFM treatment is desired, it should be started before the age of 12. Treatment success is age-dependent.
