“…Originally defined by Angle 1 , in 1907, as a mesial relationship of molars and lower canines, the Class III malocclusion is actually linked to numerous facial features, with different skeletal and dental combinations. 2 , 3 The proper diagnosis of this kind of malocclusion is indispensable for the treatment’s decision, since it is possible to observe the involvement of many tissues, such as teeth, bones, and muscles, which characterize the types of Class III malocclusions as dental, skeletal and functional, respectively. 4 The development of Class III malocclusion can therefore include skeletal maxillary retrusion, skeletal mandibular protrusion or a combination of these two alterations.…”

Introduction: the treatment of Class III malocclusion in early age is one of the greatest challenges for orthodontists, and the establishment of more effective treatment method is a constant concern for these professionals. Thus, the objective of this systematic review is to verify the effectiveness of the therapy protocol for alternate rapid maxillary expansion and constriction (Alt-RAMEC) in the early treatment of Class III malocclusion. Methods:searches were performed in the following electronic databases: Cochrane Library, Medline (EBSCO and PubMed), SciELO, LILACS and Scopus. The following inclusion criteria were used: in vivo studies conducted with early intervention (patient in craniofacial development phase) with the use of the Alt-RAMEC protocol. Reviews, case reports, editorials, and studies with syndromic patients or under use of systemic drug were excluded. Duplicates were also excluded. The studies were assessed for methodological quality using the Cochrane tool for assessment of risk of bias, and classified as high or low risk of bias. Results:53 articles were found. Duplicates exclusion was thus performed and 35 articles remained. After inclusion analysis, only 5 matched the criteria. Two articles were classified as low risk of bias and three as high risk of bias. It was observed that the Alt-RAMEC enable protraction in less time and with better results, promoting greater effectiveness in the protraction treatment of Class III malocclusion. Conclusions:Although there is positive evidence of the effectiveness of early treatment with the Alt-RAMEC protocol in patients with Class III malocclusion, further studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness using long-term methodology.
