Angle Class III malocclusion results in aesthetic and functional concerns, thus it is essential that this malocclusion is treated as early as possible, so that dentocraniofacial development occurs properly. A 7-year-old male patient with Asperger's syndrome had a Class III subdivision right malocclusion, anterior and posterior crossbite. To gain the patient's trust and collaboration, we used the behavioral management technique tell-show-do, in addition to the behavioral analysis method.  Orthodontic treatment started using the Hyrax palatal expander, but the patient was not able to adapt to it. Correction of the crossbite was achieved using a removable expander with digital springs, which was better accepted by the patient and provided aesthetic and functional improvement.

Objective: To determine prevalence of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment needs in Down syndrome individuals among Sudanese population in Khartoum area.Materials & Method: A total of 75 (37 males and 38 females) Down syndrome individuals age ranging from 6-28 years were clinically examined after obtaining their guardian’s consent, malocclusion was determined based on Angle and Incisor classification. Exclusion criteria were included individuals who had history of extraction and orthodontic treatment.Data was analysed by using SPSS Version 17, at an alpha level 0.05 and 95% confidence limits.Result: Angle Class III and Incisor III malocclusion represents the most prevalent type of malocclusions (58.7%) Angle classification, (53.3%) Incisors classification. Angle Class III malocclusion was more frequent among females (60.5%) than in males (56.8%). Themajority of individuals with Down syndrome are in need of orthodontic treatment (85.3%).Conclusion: The prevalence of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment need among Sudanese Down syndrome individuals was high.

Angle Class III malocclusion is characterized by anteroposterior dental discrepancy which might be associated or not with skeletal changes. Class III molar relationship is associated with vertical or lingually tipped mandibular incisors and a usually concave profile. These characteristics seriously affect facial esthetics and most frequently are the reason why patients seek orthodontic treatment. This case was presented to the committee of the Brazilian Board of Orthodontics and Facial Orthopedics (BBO) as part of the requisites to become a BBO Diplomate.

Posterior crossbite might cause serious long-term functional problems if not early treated. Nevertheless, in older patients, treatment might include palatal expansion in order to correct such malocclusion. In view of the above, this article aims at reporting late correction of bilateral posterior crossbite associated with Angle Class III malocclusion, right subdivision, with consequent midline shift (good skeletal pattern). The case was presented to the Brazilian Board of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics (BBO), with DI equal to or greater than 10, as a requirement for the title of certified by the BBO.

Angle Class Iii Malocclusion

Many studies report that maxillofacial growth is influenced by genetic and environmental elements and that incorrect breathing, chewing, sucking, and swallowing are promoting factors of malocclusion. This study aims to evaluate the function and the influence of the tongue positions in patients with Angle class III malocclusion, maxillary hypoplasia, and posterior crossbite. One hundred patients, aged between 6 and 12 years old, were enrolled for the study. In the first group, patients with a diagnosis of class III malocclusion, affected by maxillary hypoplasia, skeletal class III, and posterior dental crossbite were recruited. In the control group, not treated patients with no malocclusion, skeletal class I, and without posterior dental crossbite were selected. Regarding atypical deglutition, no statistical differences were reported between the two groups, and 14% of patients reported ankyloglossia. Statistical differences were found in tongue rest position and during the execution of “hold and pull” and “chuck” exercises. Results obtained in this observational study showed that the clinician (orthodontist or general dentist) should analyze the presence/absence of atypical swallowing, the anatomical and functional aspects, and the tongue behavior in the rest position.

Crossbite is one of the most prevalent malocclusion, posterior crossbite occurs in 8% to 22% of orthodontic cases and anterior crossbite has been seen in Class III cases, which accounts for 3.4% of orthodontic cases. The etiology of posterior crossbite can include any combination of dental, skeletal, and neuro muscular functional components, but the most frequent cause is reduction in width of the maxillary dental arch. Patients/cases seeking comprehensive orthodontic treatment in between 5 to 35 years were diagnosed for crossbite with diagnostic model and care record file. Out of 300 cases 163(54.3%) had crossbite, 90(30%) had anterior crossbite and 109(36.3%) had posterior cross bite. Among posterior crossbite 60(20%) had unilateral and 49(16.3%) had bilateral crossbite. Posterior crossbite was more prevalent than anterior crossbite. Cases with Class I molar relation showed more crossbite. Crossbite was more prevalent in cases with congenitally missing teeth.Bangladesh J Medicine Jan 2015; 26 (1) : 9-12

Objective: At Hannover Medical School, treatment of BCLP patients was revised and updated in 1980. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the differences in treatment outcome between BCLP patients treated after the revised concept including infant orthopedics, and BCLP patients who received osteotomy in addition to surgical and orthodontic treatment during childhood. Patients: Nine of 48 BCLP patients born between 1980 and 1983 received surgical and orthodontic treatment according to the Hannover concept. They were compared to 9 of 68 adolescent and adult patients from Hannover without this protocol, who underwent maxillary osteotomy and consecutive orthodontic treatment. Main Outcome Measures: Comparison of the two groups was made at the end of active orthodontic treatment by cast analysis and lateral cephalometrics to evaluate sagittal, transverse, and vertical changes. Results and Conclusions: No patient treated using the revised protocol showed characteristics of skeletal angle class III at any stage of investigation. No indication for osteotomy was found in this group. All patients with osteotomy had skeletal angle class III resulting from insufficient midfacial growth. Sagittal and vertical skeletal relations were successfully improved by osteotomy.
