Expert consensus on early orthodontic treatment of class III malocclusion by Xin Zhou, Si Chen, Chenchen Zhou, Zuolin Jin, Hong He, Yuxing Bai, Weiran Li, Jun Wang, Min Hu, Yang Cao, Yuehua Liu, Bin Yan, Jiejun Shi, Jie Guo, Zhihua Li, Wensheng Ma, Yi Liu, Huang Li, Yanqin Lu, Liling Ren, Rui Zou, Linyu Xu, Jiangtian Hu, Xiuping Wu, Shuxia Cui, Lulu Xu, Xudong Wang, Songsong Zhu, Li Hu, Qingming Tang, Jinlin Song, Bing Fang, Lili Chen

“…The populations from Southeast Asian countries (Chinese and Malaysian) showed the highest prevalence rate of 15.8%, which can seriously affect oral function, facial appearance, and mental health. As anterior crossbite tends to worsen with growth, early orthodontic treatment can harness growth potential to normalize maxillofacial development or reduce skeletal malformation severity, thereby reducing the difficulty and shortening the treatment cycle of later-stage treatment. …”
