A clinical examination of each recalled candidate patient will be carried out at Adib Al Lahham Centre at the Ministry of Health Damascus to ensure that he/she meets the inclusion criteria. Following obtaining the full records, including a lateral cephalometric radiograph, additional checking will be made to classify the skeletal relationship (class III relationship) of each possible candidate for this work. This trial compares two groups of patients who suffered from Class III malocclusion associated with maxillary constriction. Experimental Group: Patients in this group will undergo treatment using bone-anchored intermaxillary traction (BAIMT) associated with rapid maxillary expansion (RME). Control Group: Patients in this group will undergo treatment using a removable mandibular retractor (RMR) associated with slow maxillary expansion (SME).
