This study aims at reporting the clinical case of a patient with Class III skeletal malocclusion with severe maxillary deficiency, producing a reduced midface associated with severe mandibular prognathism. The pre-surgical orthodontic preparation was composed mainly by dentoalveolar expansion and repositioning of the incisors in the lower arch. Then, a combined maxillary and mandibular orthognathic surgery was performed. The treatment objectives were achieved, with significant improvement in facial esthetics and occlusion, followed by post-treatment stability. This case was presented to the Brazilian Board of Orthodontics and Facial Orthopedics (BBO), as part of the requirements for obtaining the title of Diplomate by BBO.

Class III skeletal malocclusion may present several etiologies, among which maxillary deficiency is the most frequent. Bone discrepancy may have an unfavorable impact on esthetics, which is frequently aggravated by the presence of accentuated facial asymmetries. This type of malocclusion is usually treated with association of Orthodontics and orthognathic surgery for correction of occlusion and facial esthetics. This report presents the treatment of a patient aged 15 years and 1 month with Class III skeletal malocclusion, having narrow maxilla, posterior open bite on the left side, anterior crossbite and unilateral posterior crossbite, accentuated negative dentoalveolar discrepancy in the maxillary arch, and maxillary and mandibular midline shift. Clinical examination also revealed maxillary hypoplasia, increased lower one third of the face, concave bone and facial profiles and facial asymmetry with mandibular deviation to the left side. The treatment was performed in three phases: presurgical orthodontic preparation, orthognathic surgery and orthodontic finishing. In reviewing the patient's final records, the major goals set at the beginning of treatment were successfully achieved, providing the patient with adequate masticatory function and pleasant facial esthetics.

SUMMARY Class III malocclusion is orthodontic anomaly where mandibular arch is in mesial position to maxillary arch. Reasons for Class III malocclusion can be found in mandibular prognathism, maxillar retrognathism or combination of these two. In most cases of mandibular prognathism, it is necessary to postpone the treatment until the growth ceases. However, if certain conditions are accomplished it is possible to start early treatment of class III malocclusion to improve occlusal relations and provide more favorable environment for future growth. The aim of this study was to present treatment of two patients with Class III maloclussion in early mixed dentition, using two different appliances: Delaire mask and Frankel functional regulator type 3. The treatment with Delaire mask resulted in rotation of maxilla downward and forward due to the angle of extraoral part of the mask to the occlusal plane that was modified to be almost 45°. At the end of the treatment facial esthetics was significantly improved. Moving maxilla forward resulted in straight profile, whereas moving maxilla downward lead to coordination of upper, middle and lower facial third. The result of the treatment in patient who used Frankel functional regulator was correction of anterior crossbite by premaxilla development and incisors protrusion. Significant differences in SNA, SNB and ANB angle values at the beginning and at the end of the treatment were not found suggesting that most changes were dental but not skeletal

Relevance. Skeletal Class III malocclusion is known to be one of the most difficult malocclusions to correct. Nonsurgical treatment of Class III in adults is a challenge; however, this patient refused surgery. A treatment method with Fixed Anterior Growth Guidance Appliance (FAGGA) was investigated in the study.Materials and methods. This case report presents a 37-year-old woman with skeletal Class III malocclusion for maxillary deficiency. As the patient didn’t agree to surgery, she was treated by Fixed Anterior Growth Guidance Appliance, followed by 3D SMILE® clear aligners. Fixed Anterior Growth Guidance Appliance was used initially. After 4 months, the appliance was removed and clear aligner treatment was initiated. Post-treatment radiographs showed improvement.Results. Intraorally, in the upper arch, a total of 4.00 mm of space were gained (about 2.00mm distal to each canine). The post-treatment cephalometric analysis showed a skeletal A-P Class I, the Upper incisor inclination to the optic plane was not significantly altered, ANS — antArc was improved by 1.5mm, the Effective Length of the Premaxilla increased by 2.6mm, U1 — ANS’ decreased by 1.7mm, Incisor mandibular plane angle (IMPA) autonomously improved by 11 degrees.Conclusions. Maxillary deficiency was corrected successfully with the Fixed Anterior Growth Guidance Appliance. The treatment is being continued by 3D SMILE® clear aligners. The goal was achieved despite the patient’s age and nonsurgical treatment.

INTRODUCTION: Angle's Class III malocclusion is a dental discrepancy in a sagittal view that may appear or not with an important skeletal discrepancy. Facial esthetics may be affected by this skeletal discrepancy and it is one of the most common complaints of patients who seek orthodontic treatment. Class III treatment, in adults, may be done by compensatory tooth movement, in simple cases, or through an association between orthodontics and orthognathic surgery, in more severe cases. OBJECTIVE: This article describes a non-extraction compensatory Class III treatment case, applying the Tweed-Merrifield mechanical principles with headgear (J-Hook) in the mandibular arch. This case was presented at the V Brazilian Association of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics (ABOR) Meeting, it was evaluated by members of Brazilian Board of Orthodontics and obtained third place in the general classification.

INTRODUCTION: Combined treatment offers advantages for partially edentulous patients. Conventional implants, used as orthodontic anchorage, enable previous orthodontic movement, which provides appropriate space gain for crown insertion. OBJECTIVE: This case report describes the treatment of a 61-year and 10-month-old patient with negative overjet which made ideal prosthetic rehabilitation impossible, thereby hindering dental and facial esthetics. CASE REPORT: After a diagnostic setup, conventional implants were placed in the upper arch to anchor intrusion and retract anterior teeth. Space gain for lateral incisors was achieved in the lower arch by means of an orthodontic appliance. CONCLUSIONS: Integrated planning combining Orthodontics and Implantology provided successful treatment by means of conventional implant-supported anchorage. The resulting occlusal relationship proved stable after 10 years.

ABSTRACT Skeletal class III malocclusion treated with orthognathic surgery usually can achieve a better facial profile and stable occlusion outcome. We describe a 37-year-old patient who sought orthodontic treatment for skeletal class III, but refused recommendations for orthognathic surgery because of personal considerations. After careful analysis of the X-ray images and study models, this patient was subjected to active orthodontic treatment to correct malocclusion using upper and lower arch with improved superelastic NiTi alloy wire (ISW) for efficient leveling of the teeth. In the lower arch, the multibends edgewise archwire (MEAW) technique was used to tip back and intrude the canine and posterior teeth. After the completion of treatment, anterior teeth crossbite was successfully corrected and proper occlusal relationships were reestablished.

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.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Skeletal Class III malocclusion is a deformity of complex treatment, with few intervention alternatives, which are further limited in nongrowing patients. In most cases, orthognathic surgery is the ideal treatment for adults, an option often refused by patients. Mild to moderate skeletal Class III malocclusions and acceptable facial esthetics can benefit from a course of treatment in which dental movements are used to compensate for the skeletal discrepancy. Objective: This study aimed to discuss orthodontic camouflage as an option for adult patients with Class III malocclusion, emphasizing its indications, implications and expected results.
