Three-dimensional dynamic evaluation of facial soft tissue changes following anterior traction in growing Angle Class III malocclusion patients
Anterior traction effectively improved the class III facial profile while dynamic 3D assessment revealed a non-linear adaptation pattern with enhanced midfacial convexity. These objective data are crucial for predicting outcomes in early-phase patient management.
