Abstract: More and more attention has been paid to the early treatment of malocclusion, especially the early treatment of class Ⅲ malocclusion. Class Ⅲ malocclusion not only affects maxillofacial growth and development, occlusal function and facial beauty, but also leads to serious physical and mental problems. Focusing on class Ⅲ malocclusion, the definition, classification, etiological mechanism, craniofacial growth and development rule, and the influence of early treatment on craniofacial growth and development were reviewed. In class Ⅲ patients, the craniofacial growth and development should be evaluated and analyzed when the early intervention carried out. The purpose of treatment of class Ⅲ malocclusion is achieved by using the appliance to affect the craniomaxillofacial growth.
