The skeletal Class III pattern is characterized by a sagittal intermaxillary mesial discrepancy. This discrepancy may have an unfavorable impact on function and aesthetics, which can be aggravated by the presence of facial asymmetries. This case report describes the diagnosis and treatment planning of a 19-year-old male patient with a skeletal Class III, maxillary hypoplasia, anterior crossbite, and mandibular asymmetry. When the patient reached skeletal maturity at the end of puberty, the definitive diagnosis was skeletal Class III with hyperdivergent profile and mandibular asymmetry, and a surgical-orthodontic treatment was proposed. At the end of the treatment, bimaxillary surgical correction allowed a skeletal Class I with mandibular symmetry, improving the function of the stomatognathic system and facial aesthetics.

Class III malocclusions are considered to be one of the most difficult problems to treat. For us, the complex of these cases is the esthetic of the face and the smile because the treatment of the malocclusions without surgery produces a more retrusive face. We present a case report of an adult male patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion with compression in the maxilla and mandibular asymmetry, who has treated the orthosurgical approach. The result is acceptable in terms of occlusion-function, esthetic of the smile, and facial esthetics.

Adolescents with bad malocclusion can more often be victims of bullying and the improvement of their facial appearance through oral rehabilitation is nowadays an important issue. The aim of this case report was to describe the orthodontic treatment in a teenager with a dentoskeletal malocclusion exposed to bullying to correct his occlusal problems and improve facial esthetics and quality of life. The patient, a boy aged 13.5 years, had a class II, division 1, malocclusion with hyperdivergent pattern, mandibular asymmetry, constricted maxillary arch and molar crossbite, increased overjet, lower mild crowding and lip sucking. A two-phase approach was necessary to achieve proper occlusion, better esthetics and promote the patient's self-esteem with consequent greater serenity of his family.

Cleft lip and Palate (CLP) is the most common craniofacial condition. Management of patients with clefts often requires multi-disciplinary rehabilitation of the orofacial structures. This case report demonstrates the multi-disciplinary management of an adult with a cleft lip and palate, highlighting the benefits of 3-Dimensional (3D) diagnosis, treatment planning and clinical execution of the plan. The patient presented with a severe maxillary deficiency, mandibular asymmetry, and congenitally missing maxillary right central and lateral incisors. This case report demonstrates an alternative approach for the management of cases with ipsilateral missing central and lateral incisors. The maxillary right canine substituted the congenitally missing maxillary right central incisor, while the maxillary right first premolar substituted the congenitally missing right lateral incisor, eliminating the need for prosthetic replacements. Total treatment time was 19 months, and the burden of care for the patient was minimized. An acceptable occlusion was achieved, and the patient’s esthetics improved significantly at the end of treatment. More importantly, the patient reported a marked improvement in his quality of life.
