Popis:	Class III malocclusions may be made up of different combinations of skeletal and dentoalveolar components. Consideration of the various components is essential to understanding the underlying causes of the discrepancy which, in turn, is essential in choosing the appropriate treatment. Protraction of facemask therapy has been successful in the early treatment of Class III patients with maxillary deficiencies. However 25 to 33% of the treated patients reverted to an anterior crossbite when they reach their pubertal growth spurt. This case report describes management of mild Class III malocclusion with facemask therapy to address deficient maxilla and lower incisor extraction to relieve lower anterior crowing and proclination. Achieving positive over jet prevents relapse which are high in cases of Class III malocclusions with anterior edge to edge bite.
