摘要： Methods and apparatuses (devices, systems, etc.) for simultaneously applying both palatal expansion and anterior force to a subject's teeth. An orthodontic apparatus may include a palatal region extending between two or more tooth engagement regions and one or more elastic band attachments projecting laterally and/or anteriorly form the tooth engagement region(s) that securely couple an elastic band to a headgear. These methods and apparatuses may be used for nonsurgical correction of Class III malocclusions during maxillary palatal expansion treatment or during a holding period of the palatal expansion treatment, e.g., following recent palatal expansion.
