Orthodontic camouflage of skeletal Class III malocclusion with miniplate: a case report

Abstract: Introduction: Skeletal Class III malocclusion is often referred for orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic surgery. However, with the aid of miniplates, some moderate discrepancies become feasible to be treated without surgery. Objective: To report the case of a 24-year-old man with severe skeletal Angle Class III malocclusion with anterior crossbite and a consequent concave facial profile. Methods: The patient refused to undergo orthognathic surgery; therefore, orthodontic camouflage treatment with … Show more

“…The orthodontic compensatory treatment of a skeletal malocclusion is one of the possible alternatives for adult patients who choose not to undergo surgical procedures 1 , 4 , 8 . In the case reported, orthognathic surgery was discarded in response to the patient’s desire, since there were no complaints regarding facial esthetics and the skeletal discrepancy was small.…”

“…In many situations, the fear of the surgical procedure associated with the patient’s satisfaction with their facial appearance makes orthodontic camouflage the patient’s treatment of choice. 1 , 4 , 6 , 8 Thus, orthodontic treatment associated with tooth extractions is an approach for orthodontic compensation in patients with mild or moderate skeletal Class III malocclusion. 6 , 8 , 9 , 10 Traditionally, premolars are the most indicated teeth for extraction with camouflage purposes; however, other extraction alternatives have been used, such as extraction of a lower incisor.…”

“…This is probably owing to the relative infancy of this treatment modality. However, upon looking at the existing literature of Class III cases camouflaged using skeletal anchorage, some common extra-oral and intra-oral criteria can be noted [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. These criteria are mentioned below:…”
