Abstract

Treatment of choices of skeletal and dental class III malocclusion in non-growing patient is orthodontic camouflage treatment and orthognathic surgery. Proper oral examination, analysis and treatment planning including retention lead to success of treatment outcome. This article presents 17 years old Thai female, who had skeletal and dental class III malocclusion with moderate crowding of upper teeth, anterior crossbite and centric occlusion-maximum intercuspation shift (CO-MI shift). The treatment plan was orthodontic camouflage treatment with non-extraction. The result was satisfying. Normal dental alignment and occlusion were achieved. Lateral profile and her smile were improved
