Maxillary hypoplasia is one of the forms of class III malocclusion. On average, 60%  class III malocclusions are characterized by maxillary underdevelopment in all three directions. Anomalies in position, size and the shape of facial bones, maxilla in particular, usually appear in childhood, become more pronounced in adolescence until the end of the growth period. The aim of the paper is to show the camouflage treatment of the patient in adolescence with maxillary hypoplasia. Using the RME method in the upper jaw, extraction in the lower jaw and fixed orthodontic devices in both jaws, a satisfactory result was achieved.

VG, 25-year-old male, presented with c/c of forwardly placed lower jaw and history of unsatisfactory previous orthodontic treatment. Extraorally, the patient had asymmetrical face and concave profile, competent lips, positive lip step, and chin deviated toward left side by 2 mm. Intraorally, the patient had Angle’s class III type 3 malocclusion with an overjet of (–1) mm, overbite of 0%, and cross-bite wrt 12, 21. The patient was skeletal class III due to macrognathic and prognathic mandible with hypodivergent growth pattern, and proclined upper and retroclined lower incisors. The patient was managed orthosurgically with bimaxillary surgery (maxillary advancement 3 mm + mandibular setback 7 mm) after presurgical decompensation. The case report discusses in detail the diagnosis and comprehensive management of the skeletal class III case.

A 24-year-old man with Prader-Willi syndrome presented with a class III malocclusion, featuring maxillary hypoplasia and severe enamel deficiency. Treatment involved orthodontic alignment, surgical advancement of the maxilla and restorative treatment to augment vertical facial height, improve the final occlusion and increase short clinical dental crown heights. The principal features of the syndrome and the management of this case are discussed.

Objective: To give information about management of releasable full denture in patient with pseudo jaw relation class IIIMethods: A 58 years old woman came with complaints that she could not chew food and felt shy when she laughed, the woman asked a denture made for her. Last tooth withdrawal was 3 months ago. Shape of upper jaw sharp edge is triangle (pointed alveolar ridge), while lower jaw sharp edge is in resorbtion condition. Making of denture was started with initial molding, physiology molding, bite determination, and teeth arrangement based on Lingualized occlusion to insertion.Results: A case with pseudo jaw relation class III successfully treated using denture with lingualized occlusion.Conclusion: Teeth arrangement using occlusion pattern Lingualized occlusion can give natural appearance to patient and stability of denture.

A skeletal Class III malocclusion with open bite tendency is considered very difficult to treat orthodontically without surgery. This case report describes the lingual orthodontic treatment of an adult skeletal Class III patient with mandibular deviation to the left side, lateral open bite, unilateral posterior crossbite, zero overbite and negative overjet. The lower incisors were already retroclined to compensate with the skeletal discrepancy. The patient was treated by asymmetric molar extraction in the mandibular arch to retract the lower incisors and correct the dental midline, with the help of intermaxillary elastics. Lingual appliance was used with over-torqued lower anterior teeth’s brackets to control the torque of mandibular incisors. After a 30-month treatment, satisfactory smile and facial esthetics and good occlusion was achieved. A 12-month follow-up confirmed that the outcome was stable. Asymmetric molar extraction could be a viable option to retract mandibular incisors in Class III malocclusion with lower dental midline deviation.

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.

The present case report describes a conservative and uncommon treatment for class III malocclusion in a woman growing patient with aged eight years and four months. An unconventional treatment modality was used for the treatment of this malocclusion, reverse-pull headgear and distalisation of lower teeth using mandibular cervical headgear in the lower arch. At the end of the treatment (after 33 months), there was correction of the transversal and sagittal occlusal relationship between maxilla and mandible and correct dental intercuspation. Keywords Class III malocclusion; Open-bite; Orthodontics.
