Abstract

Introduction: One of the main problems in orthodontics treatment with skeletal Class III patients is making the decision on how to carry out the treatment, deciding whether to perform surgery, or orthodontic camouflage with or without extractions. A 13-year-old female patient presents with Class III skeletal, anterior crossbite, straight profile, Class I molar, Class III canine left subdivision.  Objectives: To present the orthodontic follow-up of a Class III patient who underwent orthodontic camouflage without extractions. Case presentation: Prescription MBTTM 0.022” appliances and Essix retainer with acrylic planas direct track were used in the mandibular dental arch, to lift the bite and give the opportunity to vestibularise the antero-maxillary sector and correct the crossbite. Starting with the alignment and levelling phase, using archwires. An orthopantomography was requested to verticalise roots and was completed with braided archwires and intermaxillary elastics for detailing.  As a result, the anterior crossbite was corrected, the straight profile was maintained, we achieved Class I molar and canine, and the smile was improved. Conclusions: It is possible to successfully camouflage a Class III patient as long as we know the skeletal, facial, dental and functional limits of each patient.
