Maxillary retrusion in children as part of skeletal class III malocclusion is considered one of the most demanding malocclusions to diagnose, treat and maintain. vThe purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of tooth - borne facemask therapy with bone-anchored maxillary protraction on miniplates in a group of prepubertal children. This study also aims to evaluate and compare the magnitude and direction of maxillary displacement as well as, the stress distribution pattern at the circum - maxillary sutures using a three - dimensional finite element analysis. vA sample of twenty patients (eleven girls and nine boys) in the pre-pubertal growth period and an age range of 8 - 11 years were selected for this study
