Abstract:
Background:Class III malocclusion is considered to be one of the most difficult
and complex orthodontic problems to treat. For patients whose orthodontic
problems are so severe that neither growth modification nor camouflage offers
solution, surgery to realign the jaws or reposition dentoalveolar segments is
the only possible treatment option left.
Aim:The treatment objectives were to:
(1) level and align the dental arches; (2) obtain an ideal overbite and overjet,
to establish correct anterior guidance; and (3) improve the facial profile.
Case:Patient is present with skeletal Class III malocclusion, concave facial profile,
facial proportion 0.96:1:1.04, loss of occlusion due to early molar teeth loss,
molar and canine relationship were Class III, overbite 0 mm, overjet -1 mm,
midline shifted into the 6 mm left side.
Results:Excellent facial and occlusal
results were achieved with this surgical-orthodontic management, post-treatment
results showed a Class I relationship and ideal overjet and overbite. The
facial profile became straight type.
Conclusion:This case report describes
the treatment of a female with dental and skeletal class III relationships. Surgical-
orthodontic treatment was the best option for achieving an acceptable
occlusion and a good esthetic result in this case. An experienced multidisciplinary
team approach ensures a satisfactory outcome.
