Using clip type self-ligation bracket combined with nickel-titanium arch wires can easily relief dental crowding and achieve arch expanding for adult patients with severe dentition crowding. This 25-year-old female was diagnosed as skeletal Class III with maxillary deficiency and severe dental crowding, anterior and posterior crossbite. We used clip type self-ligation bracket with non-tooth extraction, non-surgery, and non mini-implant insertion treatment. Successfully improved facial profile and achieve the harmonious proportion of vertical facial 's appearance.

The etiologies of skeletal Class III malocclusion include excessive growth of the mandible, insufficient growth of the maxilla, or the combination of both. The ideal treatment for severe mandibular prognathism is a combination of orthodontic treatment with orthognathic surgery to setback the mandible. However, nonsurgical approach using mini-implant anchorage could distalize the mandibular dentition and improve the occlusion if the skeletal discrepancy is mild to moderate. In this report, we present the treatment of a 20-year-old male patient with Class III malocclusion and anterior crossbite. Mini-plates were implanted on anterior border of mandibular ramus and used as temporary anchorage devices …

Predicting growth direction and growth potential is an important part of orthodontic treatment in growing patient. Unfortunately, variation between individuals makes growth prediction complicated and difficult. This article is to discuss two skeletal Class II cases had unexpected growth and transferred into skeletal Class III during growth. This unexpected growth also leading to unsatisfied outcomes and secondary treatment.
