The study was performed on lateral cephalograms from 37 patients at the start of treatment (T0), post-treatment (T1), and a minimum of three years after treatment (T2). The patients were grouped as stable or unstable according to the existence of a 2-mm overjet at T2. For statistical analysis, independent t-tests were used to compare the baseline characteristics and measurements of the two groups, considering a significance level of &lt; 0.05. Thirty variables of pretreatment cephalograms were considered during logistic regression analysis to identify predictors. A discriminant equation was established using a stepwise method. The success rate and area under the curve were calculated, with AB to the mandibular plane, ANB, ODI, APDI, and A\u2013B plane angles as predictors. The A\u2013B plane angle was the most significantly different between the stable and unstable groups. In terms of the A\u2013B plane angle, the success rate of early class III treatment with a facemask and hyrax expander appliance was 70.3%, and the area under the curve indicated a fair grade.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children10020355","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,13]],"date-time":"2023-02-13T03:28:46Z","timestamp":1676258926000},"page":"355","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Prediction Model for Future Success of Early Orthopedic Treatment of Class III Malocclusion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Mi-So","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Institute of Oral Bioscience, School of Dentistry, Jeonbuk National University, Jeonju 54896, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Research Institute of Clinical Medicine, Jeonbuk National University, Jeonju 54907, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Biomedical Research Institute, Jeonbuk National University Hospital, Jeonju 54907, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Van Nhat Thang","family":"Le","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Odonto-Stomatology, Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Hue University, Hue 49120, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jae-Gon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Institute of Oral Bioscience, School of Dentistry, Jeonbuk National University, Jeonju 54896, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Research Institute of Clinical Medicine, Jeonbuk National University, Jeonju 54907, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Biomedical Research Institute, Jeonbuk National University Hospital, Jeonju 54907, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yeon-Mi","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Institute of Oral Bioscience, School of Dentistry, Jeonbuk National University, Jeonju 54896, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Research Institute of Clinical Medicine, Jeonbuk National University, Jeonju 54907, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Biomedical Research Institute, Jeonbuk National University Hospital, Jeonju 54907, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9942-2400","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dae-Woo","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Institute of Oral Bioscience, School of Dentistry, Jeonbuk National University, Jeonju 54896, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Research Institute of Clinical Medicine, Jeonbuk National University, Jeonju 54907, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Biomedical Research Institute, Jeonbuk National University Hospital, Jeonju 54907, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"40","DOI":"10.1186\/s40510-017-0192-y","article-title":"A novel method for treatment of Class III malocclusion in growing patients","volume":"18","author":"Dalci","year":"2017","journal-title":"Prog.
