Abstract
Abstract
Skeletal Class III malocclusion has always been in discussion for its complex nature, which can be caused by Deficient maxilla and/ or Procumbent of mandibular basal bone or combination of both. With regard to the ideal timing of the treatment, research has shown that early intervention may be most successful as it utilises the growth status of the patient and if avoided necessitates additional surgical procedures at later period. As surgery is only performed later on, obtaining treatment early, helps to prevent the patient's social life from being negatively impacted by the facial disfigurement. This case study details the management of a 16-year-old girl who had maxillary retrusion and mesio-occlusion. Treatment was with pre-adjusted edgewise mechanics with slow maxillary expansion with a Ni-Ti expander and protraction facemask.
