ABSTRACT Skeletal Class III malocclusions are ideally treated with orthodontic-surgical approaches. However, if there are no significant soft tissue implications and the patient does not want to undergo orthognatic surgery, other treatment options may be considered. The current case report describes a compensatory alternative for Class III malocclusion treatment, by means of mandibular canine extractions. This treatment alternative provided facial profile and occlusal improvement, which remains stable seven years posttreatment.

Background: The treatment options for adults with skeletal Class III malocclusion can be dentoalveolar compensation, also known as orthodontic camouflage, or orthognathic surgery. Camouflage treatment can be carried out with teeth extractions, distalisation of the mandibular dentition, and use of Class III intermaxillary elastics. However, intermaxillary elastics as anchorage has its own risk–benefit. Purpose: To explain that camouflage treatment with teeth extractions can be performed in a mild to moderate skeletal Class III malocclusion using intermaxillary anchorage with elastics, while minimising the deleterious effects and achieving a satisfactory treatment outcome. Case: Our patient was a 25-year-old female who had a skeletal Class III pattern, with normal maxilla and a protruded mandible. She had a straight facial profile with a Class III canine and molar relationship on her right and left sides. Anterior crossbite was also present with crowding on both the maxilla and the mandible. Case Management: The treatment plan was carried out with dentoalveolar compensation by extracting teeth. Extraction of the lower first premolars was conducted to eliminate the crowding and correct the anterior crossbite. The mandibular incisors were retroclined and the maxillary incisors were proclined with dentoalveolar compensation. Passive self-ligating system was used with standard torque prescription, intermaxillary anchorage, and no additional appliances for anchorage control. Class I canine and incisor relationship were both achieved at the end of the treatment, while maintaining the Class III molar relationship. Conclusion: Orthodontic camouflage treatment in an adult patient using a passive self-ligating system and intermaxillary anchorage can improve facial profile and improve dental occlusion.

Maloklusi kelas III dapat didefinisikan sebagai kelainan wajah skeletal dengan karakteristik posisi mandibula lebih maju terhadap dasar cranium dan atau terhadap maksila. Ada tiga pilihan perawatan untuk maloklusi kelas III dentoskeletal yaitu; modifikasi pertumbuhan, kamuflase dan bedah orthognatik. Artikel ini mempresentasikan kasus seorang pasien dewasa dengan maloklusi kelas III dentoskeletal yang dirawat dengan ortodontik kamuflase menggunakan teknik Begg. Seorang pasien laki-laki, berusia 16 tahun, didiagnosa maloklusi kelas III Angle dengan hubungan skeletal kelas III dan gigi depan maksila dan mandibula berjejal. Perawatan menggunakan alat cekat teknik Begg dengan pencabutan premolar kedua maksila dan premolar pertama mandibula serta elastis intermaxillar kelas III. Kesimpulan hasil perawatan selama 10 bulan menunjukkan bahwa kamuflase ortodontik dapat dianggap sebagai terapi yang efektif untuk koreksi maloklusi kelas III dentoskeletal.   ABSTRACT: A Camouflage Treatment Of Dentoskeletal Class III Malocclusion In Adult Using Begg Technique B. Class III malocclusion can be defined as a skeletal facial deformity characterized by a forward mandibular position with respect  to the cranial base and or the maxilla. There are three main treatment options for dentoskeletal class III malocclusion: growth modification, orthodontic camouflage and orthognatic surgery. The article presented a case of an adult patient with dentoskeletal class III malocclusion treated with orthodontic camouflage treatment with Begg technique. A male patient, 16 years old, diagnosis malocclusion Angle class III, skeletal class III with crowding anterior teeth maxilla and mandibular. Using the fixed appliance, Begg technique, with the extraction of second premolars maxilla and first premolars mandibular. The appliance is completed with intermaxillary class III elastics. The results for 10 months of this treatment indicated that orthodontic camouflage can be considered an effective therapy for corection of dentoskeletal class III malocclusion.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Skeletal Class III malocclusion is often referred for orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic surgery. However, with the aid of miniplates, some moderate discrepancies become feasible to be treated without surgery. Objective: To report the case of a 24-year-old man with severe skeletal Angle Class III malocclusion with anterior crossbite and a consequent concave facial profile. Methods: The patient refused to undergo orthognathic surgery; therefore, orthodontic camouflage treatment with the aid of miniplates placed on the mandibular arch was proposed. Results: After 18 months of treatment, a Class I molar and canine relationship was achieved, while anterior crossbite was corrected by retraction of mandibular teeth. The consequent decrease in lower lip fullness and increased exposure of maxillary incisors at smiling resulted in a remarkable improvement of patient's facial profile, in addition to an esthetically pleasing smile, respectively. One year later, follow-up revealed good stability of results.

AbstractTandem appliance is preferred over face mask mainly because of compliance reasons. In the given case report, clinicians have used tandem appliance for correcting skeletal class III malocclusion patient in later stage of growth. Operators utilized residual growth. Facial harmony was achieved by gaining positive overjet. Adolescent class III malocclusion is challenging to treat. Occurrence of class III malocclusion is just 5% in India. If patient reports in growing stage, clinicians get many relevant treatment options. Lack of knowledge about growth modulation therapy causes loss of growing stage of patients. This situation reduces available treatment modalities. Here is a case of female patient with class III malocclusion who is near completion of her growth; maxillary growth was stimulated in forward direction taking anchorage from overgrown mandible with the help of tandem appliance.

Objective: This longitudinal retrospective cephalometric study was undertaken in an attempt to evaluate the effect of Class III activator on the soft tissue structures in subjects with skeletal Class III. Methods: The material consisted of cephalometric films of 26 Class III patients (13females and 13 males, with a mean age of 13.58±4.38 years). Each treated patient was matched before treatment with Class III subject for sex and age. Differences at T1 and T2 were examined using paired t-test. Results: After treatment the patients' soft tissue profile improved significantly compare with before treatment. Conclusion: Soft tissue changes were found in patients treated by Class III activator in skeletal Class III patients. Clinical relevance: Class III activator may be an efficient method to improving soft tissue facial profile in Skeletal Class III malocclusion.

Facemask (FM) and bonded rapid palatal expander (RPE) are part of growth modification treatments for correcting skeletal Class III pattern with retrognathic maxilla. This orthopaedic treatment is usually preceded by fixed appliances to achieve aesthetic dental alignment and improve interdigitation. This case report reviews treatment of Class III malocclusion with unilateral crossbite in a 12-year-old boy using FM and bonded RPE, followed by fixed appliances. Choice of FM and bonded RPE was in line with indication which was mild Class III malocclusion with retrognathic maxilla. Execution of treatment was made considering treatment biomechanics and patient cooperation. This orthopaedic treatment was followed by orthodontic treatment specifically aimed to correct unilateral crossbite, canine relationship yet to reach Class I, lower midline shift, as well as unintended dental consequences of using bonded RPE, namely posterior open bite and deepening curve of spee. Posttreatment facial profile and smile are more esthetic. Occlusion is significantly improved both functionally and aesthetically.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Class III malocclusions are some of the most difficult occlusal anomalies to be treated. Some patients with this condition may require orthognathic surgery, while others may be treated with dental camouflage. Proper patient assessment and selection remains critical in order to achieve favorable results. Objectives: This report outlines the case of an 18-year-old male who sought retreatment for a severe skeletal Class III dentofacial deformity after undergoing orthodontic camouflage treatment involving mandibular arch extractions. A treatment plan comprising dental decompensation and orthognathic surgery was implemented in order to achieve optimal facial and occlusal results. Results: After 28 months of treatment, skeletal and dental correction was achieved and facial features were significantly improved. The orthognathic surgery required a 20-mm sagittal maxillomandibular skeletal correction, combined with a 4-mm correction of the midlines and a 2-mm impaction of the maxilla. Conclusion: Dental compensation may be a risky treatment alternative for severe dentoskeletal discrepancies. In these patients, orthodontics combined with orthognathic surgery is the recommended treatment option.

Background/Aim. Skeletal Class III malocclusion is a discrepancy in the sagittal jaw relationship, due to imbalances in their development and/or position, resulting in the dominant appearance of the lower jaw in facial profile. The aim of this study was to determine variations in the sagittal position of the jaw bones to the cranial base in subjects with skeletal Class III, for the earliest possible diagnosis of malocclusion. Methods. Fifty children and as many adults with skeletal Class III, both sexes, were examined and selected, based on the findings of sagittal interjaw relationship (ANB) ? 0? from the cephalometric analysis of tele-x-ray profile head shots. The subjects were grouped according to age. The first group consisted of children aged 6-12 years, and another group, of adults aged 18-26 years. We measured the angles of maxillary prognathism (SNA), mandibular prognathism (SNB) and ANB. Based on these results, within the respective groups subclassification into the subgroups was done, among which a significant difference measured values was evaluated. In both groups a significant correlation of the determined values was evaluated. Results. An average SNA angle ranged 77.36 ? 3.58 in children and 77.32 ? 4.88 in adults, while an average SNB angle was 79.46 ? 3.91 in the group of children and 81.12 ? 3.76 in adults. An average ANB angle was -2.10 ? 2.07 in children, and -4.00 ? 2.34 in adults. In both groups, a significant correlation between the measured values and a significant difference in the values of all the measured parameters were found between patients from different subgroups (p < 0.01). Conclusion. The most common morphological variation of sagittal position of the upper jaw is its retrognatism, which is equally present in both children and adults. Sagittal position of the lower jaw in most of the adults was prognathic, while mandible prognathism in the children was less present.

A variety of treatment options may be implemented on a Class III malocclusion associated with skeletal discrepancy ranging from functional orthopedics at an early age to orthognathic surgery in adults. In the current scenario, many Class III malocclusion patients are referred for orthognathic surgery without even considering the options of an orthodontic camouflage, as orthodontists do not want to burden themselves with the tedious treatment planning and risks involved with treating such cases. This case report describes a 27-year-old female diagnosed with a skeletal Class III malocclusion, severe open bite, and periodontally compromised dentition. Although orthognathic surgery was proposed as the best treatment modality, it was denied by the patient due to financial and psychological constraints. She was treated with mild upper arch expansion using archwires and upper premolar intrusion using temporary anchorage devices (TADs) alongside retraction of lower anterior teeth using TADs and intermaxillary elastics. At the end of 18 months of active treatment, a decent result was achieved with good occlusion and facial esthetics. Post-treatment results showed an improved profile and Class I canine relationships, with optimal overjet and overbite. The anterior open bite was corrected, and the overall facial balance was greatly improved. Extraoral photographs displayed a relaxed lip closure and an esthetic smile meeting the patient’s expectations. Two-year follow-up records demonstrated a stable occlusion and optimal facial esthetics.
