Objective: To evaluate the effect of the multiloop edgewise arch wire (MEAW) technique with maxillary mini-implants in the camouflage treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients were treated with the MEAW technique and modified Class III elastics from the maxillary mini-implants. Twenty-four patients were treated with MEAW and long Class III elastics from the upper second molars as control. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were obtained and analyzed before and after treatment, and 1 year after retention. Results: Satisfactory occlusion was established in both groups. Through principal component analysis, it could be concluded the anterior-posterior dental position, skeletal sagittal and vertical position, and upper molar vertical position changed within groups and between groups; vertical lower teeth position and Wits distance changed in the experimental group and between groups. In the experimental group, the lower incisors tipped lingually 2.7 mm and extruded 2.4 mm. The lingual inclination of the lower incisors increased 3.5u. The mandibular first molars tipped distally 9.1u and intruded 0.4 mm. Their cusps moved 3.4 mm distally. In the control group, the upper incisors proclined 3u, and the upper first molar extruded 2 mm. SN-MP increased 1.6u and S-Go/N-ME decreased 1. Conclusions: The MEAW technique combined with modified Class III elastics by maxillary miniimplants can effectively tip the mandibular molars distally without any extrusion and tip the lower incisors lingually with extrusion to camouflage skeletal Class III malocclusions. Clockwise rotation of the mandible and further proclination of upper incisors can be avoided. The MEAW technique and modified Class III elastics provided an appropriate treatment strategy especially for patients with high angle and open bite tendency. (Angle Orthod. 2013;83:630-640.)

Face Adaptation in Orthodontics

Bilateral Controversy in orthodontic science is widely present in different patterns; one of the most common is the debate between early versus late orthodontic treatment. This paper is going to demonstrate two clinical cases of class III malocclusion which are treated orthodontically, one in early mixed dentition and the other in permanent dentition. The face is highly capable to adapt to the changes achieved by orthodontics provided the earlier treatment begins, the more the face adapts to our standards; the later treatment begins, the more our standards have to adapt to the face.

“…Removing a single mandibular incisor tooth in a Class III malocclusion is indicated when the mandible is oversize and the A.P.R can be converted into an acceptable figure. [37][38][39] The occlusal area of the mandible is reduced, and by replacing the extracted incisor tooth by adding a first premolar to the anterior segment, the Class III relationship does not need reducing on one side. Quite often this type malocclusion has an open or edge to edge bite.…”
