Introduction
• Class III malocclusions represent a small
proportion of all malocclussions among orthodontic patients but the treatment is considerable clinical challenge
because of the complex diagnosis and the difficult prognosis (Antonio, 2012).
The Class III malocclusion has a strong
genetic background which may express itself
Class III malocclusion is far more prevalent in Asian countries than in the West. (Graber Mosby, 2005 in A-Bakr M. Rabie, 2008)
Southeast Asian populations have the
highest prevalence of Class III malocclusion (13% to 27%), while Indian and Caucasian

Treatment Alternatives For Skeletal
Class III Malocclusion
There are three main
treatment options for skeletal class III malocclusion:
Growth Modification,
Dentoalveolar
Compensation (Orthodontic Camouflage),
Orthognatic Surgery. A-Bakr M. Rabie, et al. 2008. Treatment in
Borderline Class III Malocclusion: Orthodontic Camouflage (Extraction) Versus Orthognathic
Surgery
Growth modification should be commenced before the
pubertal growth spurt, after this spurt, only the latter two options are possible.
Growth modification should be commenced before the
• There are larger number of skeletal class
III patient that either decline or cannot afford surgical treatment.
• The only alternative is “orthodontic
camouflage” through comprehensive treatment with fixed appliances.
• There are type of Orthodontic camouflage:
1.Selective tooth extraction.
2.Distalization of mandibular dentition using miniimplants.

Camouflage in Orthodontic
• Camouflage treatment is defined by Proffit
as displacement of the teeth relative to
their supporting bone to compensate for an underlying jaw discrepancy.
• Thus, camouflage in orthodontics is defined
as implementation of a less intensive
treatment plan option in a patient with a severe problem so as to obtain optimum results within physiologic limits and which may not be addressing the correction of the

Discussion
•
Orthodontic camouflage is well fit for
patients that carry small skeletal
Class III, with no growth potential,
with a relative fine facial balance and
without severe crowding.
•
This case was treated with straight
wire system appliance with vertical
U-loop to correct anterior crossbite
•
The several loop designs that have
been described have specific
applications and when properly
employed produce effective
responses.
• One of common applications of the loops in
orthodontic treatment procedures is double vertical loop against bracket fixed to the
contained section of the arch wire activated by tying back or compression for mesial or distal movement (such as midline
correction).
Indication for class III
camouflage treatment
Indication for class III
camouflage treatment
• Too old for successful growth modification,
• Mild to moderate skeletal class III,
• Reasonably good alignment of teeth so
that the extraction space would be
available for controlled anteroposterior displacement and not used to relieve crowding,
• Good vertical facial proportions, neither
extreme short face nor long face.
Class III Elastic
• Another form of camouflage is the use of
Class III elastics, thus allowing a
compensation by lingualization of the lower incisors and labialization of the upper
incisors (Rey Mora, et al, 2007)
• Extended from upper molar to the lower
cuspid.
• Bring about retrusion of mandibular
anteriors and protusion of maxillary anteriors.
• Class III intermaxillary elastics were used to
protract maxillary first molar from class III into class I relation (Bayirli B, 2009 in
•
Class III elastics also contribute to
correction of the overbite and overjet,
which was at the cost of retrusion of
the mandibular incisors and permitted
by extraction of lower premolar.
•
One of extraction pattern for class III
Extraction of

• Extraction of the maxillary second premolar in
this case, could make the maxillary molars moved mesially into class I molar
relationship.
• Extraction of second premolar was first
introduced by Nance in 1949.
• Nance suggested that borderline extraction
cases with minimal crowding and cases to avoid over- retraction of the anterior
segments should be treated in conjunction with extraction of second premolars.
•
Schoppe and Schwab observed
that more mesial movement of
the posterior segments were
present in second premolar
extractions cases than in first
premolar extraction.
•
In some class III cases with
crowding, treatment may be
easier to consider extraction of
upper second and lower first
Extraction of 44
• Extraction of first premolar
mandibular is to provide to move mandibular canines distally from a class III
relationship into a class I relationship and also to
correct the midline shifting.
• Premolar extraction also
favored reducing the
mandibular prognathism by reducing the concavity,
• To improve the anterior cross bite or
edge-to-edge bite, premolar extraction plays important role by providing space to
retract lower incisors. Usually patient with class III malocclusion having the concave
profile and after extraction of lower
premolar it may disturb the concave profile due to lingual inclination of lower incisors
compare to non extraction case (Alam MK
et al, 2016).

Conclusion:
•
Camouflage treatment with
proper extraction can be
considered in a non-surgical
treatment of adult and give a
satisfactory result
