Abstract
|
|
|
|
Class III malocclusions with mild to moderate skeletal discrepancies can be treated with non-surgical camouflage treatment. To choose the camouflage treatment, it is necessary to consider the limits of orthodontic tooth movement and skeletal discrepancy. In particular, transverse and sagittal disharmony should be considered. This clinical case report presents the successful use of mini-implant for maxillary palatal expansion and mandibular dentition total distalization in a patient with a skeletal Class III malocclusion. After 28 months of total treatment, her occlusion was significantly improved. Normal overbite and overjet, and a harmonious smile was also obtained.
