A member asked:
My son has class 3 tendancies with his bottom 6 year molar sitting 1 mm anterior to the top. will this worsen with age? does he need headgear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. : Since Class III malocclusion of teeth is due to abnormal alignment of lower jaw, protruding forward, it usually gets worse with time, necessitating intervention by orthodontics at an early stage.
