Journal Title: Journal of Case Reports and Studies - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Treating a Class III malocclusion has always been a challenge to the clinician beginning with the proper diagnosis, treatment options and the time of treatment. Few are of the opinion that the malocclusion should be corrected as soon as it is noticed while others prefer to wait it out till late mixed dentition or permanent dentition. However there only a few willing to take the middle path and hence correcting this malocclusion during early mixed dentition period utilizing the optimal growth potential of the growing orofacial musculature. This article describes a Hawleys appliance with anterior expansion screw to correct anterior cross bite in pseudo Class III malocclusion with permanent dentition in a patient who could not afford fixed orthodontic therapy.
