Abstract:
This case report describes the treatment of an 18-year-old man with a skeletal Class III pattern and a full-step Class III malocclusion. The orthodontic treatment included distal movement of the mandibular dentition with temporary skeletal anchorage devices. The total active treatment time was 30 months. His occlusion and facial appearance were significantly improved by the orthodontic treatment. Posttreatment records 2 years later showed excellent results with good occlusion and facial balance.
