Long-term stability of rapid maxillary expansion combined with chincup protraction followed by fixed appliances.

Conclusions: RME and protraction from chincup therapy led to successful long-term outcomes in 18 of 22 patients (81.8%). This treatment approach can be considered an efficient therapy in growing girls with mild skeletal Class III malocclusion caused by maxillary retrusion and mandibular protrusion.
