Orthodontic Camouflage Treatment of Skeletal Class Iii Malocclusion With Mandibular Bite Turbo Application

Abstract

Treatment of skeletal class III malocclusions is difficult malocclusions. The treatment of skeletal class III malocclusions varies according to the jaw and the growth period of the anomalies. Adult individuals whose growth is over are treated with fixed orthodontic mechanics or orthognathic surgical approaches. If skeletal class III malocclusion is not severe and does not constitute a problem aesthetically, camouflage treatment can be done with fixed orthodontic mechanics. This case report presents the results of orthodontic camouflage treatment and treatment applied to a skeletal class III malocclusion female patient with chronological age of 17 years and 9 months and skeletally in the Ru period. The molar relationship of the patient with a slightly concave profile is Angle class III. In cephalometric examination, skeletal class III malocclusion was detected (ANB angle= -6). At the end of treatment, a Angle class I relationship and a smooth soft tissue profile were obtained. © 2020, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi. All rights reserved.
