Abstract
Abstract:Orthodontic camouflage treatment is an acceptable option for mild to moderate skeletal discrepancies for correcting the malocclusion as well as the skeletal problem. Surgical treatment is the preferred and most stable treatment for adult patients with severe skeletal Class III malocclusion.Patients with borderline dentoalveolar compensation who are not willing to accept the costs, risks, and potential complications of surgery can sometimes be treated successfully with camouflage orthodontics. It is not clear which mechanics are most appropriate or which patients are most likely to benefit from an orthodontic approach to severe skeletal Class III malocclusion.In this article a case report of a camouflage treatment in a skeletal class III malocclusion patient with prognathic mandible with average growth pattern and partially erupted palatally placed upper right canine and retained deciduous right upper canine.The aim of this article is to show that Orthodontic camouflage is an acceptable option for mild skeletal discrepancies that offers esthetic results in the soft tissues as well as correction of malocclusion. Keywords: Orthodontic camouflage, skeletal Class III malocclusion, alocclusion.
