Abstract

Class III malocclusions are the result of insufficient forward growth of the maxilla excessive forward mandibular growth or a combination of both For patients whose orthodontic problems are so severe that neither growth modification nor camouflage offers a solution surgery to realign the jaws or reposition dentoalveolar segments is the only possible treatment Dramatic progress in recent years has made it possible for combined surgical orthodontic treatment to be carried out successfully for patients with a severe dentofacial problem This case report highlights the successful management of a 19yearold male with skeletal class III relationship with compromised esthetics and poor functional adaptation with combined orthodontic and surgical line of treatment Patient39s malocclusion was decompensated first by presurgical orthodontics with extractions of four pre molars followed by orthognathic surgery to achieve structural balance acceptable esthetics and stable functional occlusionKeywords Skeletal Class III malocclusion Orthognathic surgery Decompensation
