Summary
This study successfully treated a 12-year-old girl's severe skeletal class III malocclusion using premolar extraction and edgewise mechanotherapy. The treatment corrected functional and esthetic issues without requiring orthognathic surgery.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Orthodontics
- Craniofacial Biology
Background:
- Skeletal class III malocclusion presents significant functional and esthetic challenges.
- Mandibular protrusion and associated features like high mandibular plane angle require effective treatment strategies.
