Skeletal Class III malocclusions are caused by maxillary deficiency, mandibular protrusion, or a combination of the two. This patient, in this case, may have a sunken in face, strong chin appearance. Most persons with Class III malocclusions, which is a dentofacial deformity, show combinations of skeletal and dentoalveolar components. Orthodontic therapy is usually aimed at compensating for the underlying mild-moderate skeletal Class III discrepancy and patients with severe skeletal Class III discrepancies require a combination of orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery to correct the underlying skeletal pattern. By considering many factors, the orthodontic treatment can be done on mild to severe skeletal Class III. These factors are facial profile, dental relationship and skeletal pattern. Those factors should be considered a starting point in making a treatment decision. They give the limitation of orthodontic treatment in terms of whether the occlusion could be corrected, or whether the deformity could be camouflage.

Surgical correction of Dentofacial Deformities is the work of many surgeons but the orthodontist are very much involved in preparing the patients for surgery. This case report describes treatment for severe skeletal Class III with excessive reverse overjet by pre-surgical orthodontic treatment followed by bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO). The patient had a concave profile, a long lower facial height, large tongue volume and excessive mandibular protrusion and a high mandibular plane angle. The occlusion was well aligned including root paralleling in both the arches during the presurgical orthodontic treatment phase. After dental correction in both the arches, bilateral sagittal split osteotomy with mandibular push back was performed. The post treatment records showed a good facial profile and occlusion. The mandible was stable, however, there was spacing in the upper anterior segment. These results demonstrate that presurgical orthodontic treatment combined with bilateral sagittal split osteotomy resulted improvement of facial profile, aesthesis and functional need.

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.
