CLASS III MALOCCLUSION
Prenormal occlusion or mesioclusionMesial or ventral relationship of maxilla to mandibleThe mesial groove of mandibular first permanent molar articulates anteriorly to the mesiobuccal cusp of maxillary first permanent molarHandbook of orthodontics by Robert Moyers; 4th edition
Introduction5
Class III small proportion of all, about 5% of all , more in Asian population Class III wen the mesiobuccal cusp of maxillary first molar occludes interdental space between the distal aspect of distal cusps of mandi 1st molar and mesial aspect of mesial cusps of mandi 2nd molar

CLINICAL FEATURESA] Extraoral features :Concave profile Anterior facial divergenceRetrusive nasomaxillary area Prominent lower third of face/chinSteep mandibular plane angle
15
The Asian patients with Class III malocclusion typically had a more retrusive facial profile and a longer lower anterior facial height. A backward rotation of the mandible was often observed to accommodate the relatively smaller maxilla.15
B] Intraoral features :Class III molar and canine relationshipNarrow upper archDecreased or reverse overjetCrowding in upper arch and spaced lower arch16
Severe class iii are often associated with either anterior or posterior crossbites becoz either maxilla is placed too far back or mandible is too far forwardPresence of occlusal pre maturities resulting in habitual forward positioning of the mandible

DIAGNOSIS
Case historyPhotographsStudy modelsRadiographsCephalometric analysis17Textbook of orthodontics by Dr. Samir Bishara
Diagnosis is study and interpretation of data concerning a clinical problem in order to determine the presence or absence of abnormality.The primary goal of these parameters is to help clinician distinguish between a case that requires limited ortho tt vs one that requires comprehensive ortho tt17
1. Photographs 18Extraoral
Intraoral
Diagnosis
Extraoral frontal view at rest, frontal view smiling, profile view at rest to asses pt profile, facial asymmetries and smile lineIntraoral frontal view, right and left lateral view and maxi and mandi occlusal view to provide general overview of malocclusion, gingival condition, and hypoplastic teeth18
Profile Assessment :1. Facial proportions- Straight, convex or concave - Maxillary deficiency showsconcave profile, flattening of infraorbital rim 19
a. Pts with maxillary deficiency usually have a concave profile, evidenced by flattening of the infraorbital rim and area adjacent to nose19
2. Chin position- Chin should not be positioned anterior to a vertical line extending down from soft tissue glabella- Facial convexity decrease with age 20
By blocking upper and lower lip, Evaluate chin position with reference to nose, upper face, and foreheadA degree of chin prominence that wud be normal for adult may suggest a class III skeletal profile in a young child
20
3. Mid-face position - an imaginary line extending from inferiorborder of the orbit through the alar base ofnose and down the corner of mouth- A straight or concave tissue contour indicates midface deficiency21
Evaluate midface by blocking out lower lip and chinThere should be a convexity to imaginary line normally21
4. Vertical proportionsChecked in CO and CRNormal ratio for lower facial height to total facial height is 0.55Decreased in patients with functional shift and overclosure of mandible
22
2. Study models
23Diagnosis
To asses angles classification of molar and canines, overjet and overbite, the approx. amount of crowding or spacing in a dental arch, presence of anterior or posterior crossbiteBcoz model are 3 dimensional representation of pts dentition, they may b used to demonstrate malocclusion to both parent and patient23
3. Radiographs
24
Pantomogram (OPG) Lateral cephalogram Diagnosis
PANTOMOGRAPH-To assess the stage of dental eruption, missing supernumerary or impacted teeth, ectopically erupting teeth, and pathologic conditionLATERAL CEPHALOMETRIC- 1.to evaluate the relationship of the jaws and teeth,2. diagnosis, tt planning, pretreatment, tt process and tt result and stability 24
4. Cephalometric analysisThe SNA angle is significantly lower Negative ANB angle Greater mandibular protrusion Increased gonial angle (more obtuse)Steep mandibular plane angleIncreased lower facial height25Diagnosis
25
Beta angle more than 35 degreeW angle Smaller Articular angle Greater saddle angle 26Diagnosis
26
27 Shendre Shrikant et al conducted a cephalometric study to study anteroposterior relationship of jaws and dental arches in Class I, Class II, and Class III malocclusion (Int J Contemporary Dentistry March 2011;2(2))Diagnosis
Lateral cephalograms and study models of 276 untreated adult orthodontic patients representing Angles Class I, Angles Class II and Angles Class III malocclusions were taken. ANB angle and Wits appraisal were measured on the radiographs which were indicative of the skeletal relationship.ANB ANGLE -The measured values in group I and group II indicated a Class II skeletal base. In group III the mean value showed a Class III skeletal base. However, the increase of ANB angle in group II was more than in group IWITS APPRAISAL -In group I, mean value of Wits appraisal showed a mild Class II skeletal base. Group II showed a moderate to severe Class II skeletal base. In group III the mean value of Wits appraisal showed a Class III skeletal baseWits appraisal decreases as ANB angle decreased 27
28 Hyung-Jun Choi conducted a cephalometric study to compare between characterstics of Class III malocclusion in Korean children with deciduous dentition. (Angle Orthod. 2010;80:8690)He concluded that The relative sagittal position of the maxilla and mandible (ANB difference, facial convexity, Wits appraisal) showed highly signicant differencesThe mandibular length is greater in class III children with maxillary length showing no such difference Diagnosis
28
29 The saddle angle and ramus height are greater while articular angle is smaller for Class IIIThe maxillary incisors show proclination and mandibular incisors show retroclination Large interincisal angle Greater soft tissue convexityDiagnosis
Soft tissue convexity (G-Sn-Pog) was signicantly greater in the normal occlusion group.While the lower lip position (lower lip to E-plane) was similar, there was a signicant difference in the upper lip position (upper lip to E-plane)29
30 Kwong and Lin conducted a cephalometric study comparing characteristics of patients with Class I, Pseudo Class III, and skeletal Class III malocclusion (Clin Dent, 1987 7(2):69-78)Diagnosis
Pseudo Class III malocclusion is an intermediate form between Class I and skeletal Class III malocclusion. The only exception was the gonial angle, which was generally more obtuse in the skeletal Class III sample.Measurement of the gonial angle in the pseudo Class III sample was rather similar to the Class I sample, making this measurement a key diagnostic feature in the differential diagnosis30
31Textbook of orthodontics by Dr. Samir BisharaDiagnosis
ANB angle is negative with smaller than normal SNA or greater than normal SNBAlso wits appraisal can be used Pseudo class III KEY DIAGNOSTIC FEATURE IS GONIAL ANGLE FOR DIFFERENTIATING 31

CLASS III SKELETAL GROWTH PATTERNS1. Cranial base (Battagel, EJO 1993)Decreased linear and angular measurements Middle cranial fossa shows posterior and superior alignmentRetrusive nasomaxillary complexForward rotation of mandible 33Textbook of orthodontics by Dr. Samir BisharaDiagnosis
33
2. Maxilla Decreased horizontal growthHorizontal movement of A-point is approximately 0.4 mm/yr (1 mm/yr in Class I patients)3. Mandible Increased mandibular length Shorter ascending ramus with steep mandibular plane angle Obtuse gonial angle 34Textbook of orthodontics by Dr. Samir BisharaDiagnosis
The mandibular articulation is more anteriorly posi- tioned, resulting in a more prominent lower lawThe mandibular prominence along with the decreased length of the maxillary complex may accentuate the typical straight to concave profile in these cases. Typically, patients with Class III malocclusions display dentoalveolar compensation in the form of proclination of the maxillary incisors accompanied with retroclination of the mandibular incisors.
34
4. Growth incrementsSugawara and Mitani said Class III skeletal pattern was established at a young age and does not change fundamentallyTotal increase in posterior cranial base is less in patients with prognathic mandibleAlso, different growth changes in males and females Females patients show more prominent mandible and an increased proclination of maxillary incisors
35Textbook of orthodontics by Dr. Samir Bishara
Similar mandibular growth increments between Class III and Class I patients during prepubertal, pubertal and postpubertal growth periods Battagel41 found that the largest increment of facial growth for males occurred between the ages of 14 and 16 years, whereas in female patients the maximum increment of facial growth occurred between the ages of 9.5 to 12 years, although active growth continued in the nasal area and both jaws after the age of 15 years35
Rabie and Yan Gu (AJODO 2000) identified the diagnostic criteria for PseudoClass III malocclusion and compared it with Class I malocclusion in the southern Chinese population
36PSEUDO CLASS III MALOCCLUSION
CLINICAL FEATURES:Majority showed no family historyClass I molar and canine relationships at HO and Class II or end to end relationship at CRDecreased midface lengthForward position of the mandible with normal mandibular lengthRetroclined upper incisors and normal lower incisors37
TREATMENT OF PSEUDO CLASS IIIRemoval of CO-CR discrepancy avoid normal wear and traumatic occlusal forces to affect the teethRemoves potential adverse effects on growth of jawsEstablishes good functional occlusalImproves facial aesthetics38
Patients with pseudo Class III malocclusion often present with anterior crossbites that are caused by a premature tooth contact or improper positioning of themaxillary and mandibular incisors and the temporomandibular joint.Reverse stainless steel crowns were also used earlier38

(2) improving skeletal discrepancies and providing a more favorable environment for future growth; (4) simplifying phase II comprehensive treatment and minimizing the need for orthognathic surgery43
44According to Turpin et al (1981)
EARLY TREATMENT TREATMENT DELAYEDTextbook of orthodontics by Dr. Samir BisharaTreatment
The author recommends that early treatment should be considered - positive column.negative column - treatment can be delayed until growth is completed. Patients should be aware of the fact that surgery may be necessary at a later date, even when an initial phase of treatment may be successful.

1. REVERSE ACTIVATOR
48
Treatment*Removable orthodontic appliances by Graber and Neuman: 2nd Edition
Unlike activator for class II, in class III activator the restraining effect is directed toward the mandible instead of maxilla.Construction bite is taken in most retruded hinge axis positionAddition Mandibular labial bow added to guide incisors distallyMaxillary labial bow kept at some distance frm incisors to relieve lip pressure48
2. BIONATOR49
*Removable orthodontic appliances by Graber and Neuman: 2nd EditionTreatment
Mandi plate and the two lateral maxi parts extending from 1st premolars to 1st premolars joined together opening the bite just enough to allow labial movement of maxi anteriors just past mandi anteriors.Bite opening is not more than 2mm between the incisal edges1mm thickness of acrylic is removed from behind the mandi anteriors49

4. FRANKEL III REGULATOR (FR III)More successful in patients with functional shift on closureIncreased overbite of 4-5 mm Early mixed dentitionAlso, as a retentive device after maxillary protraction51
Textbook of orthodontics by Dr. Samir BisharaTreatment
functional appliance designed to counteract the muscle forces acting on the maxillary complex. According to Franke1, the vestibular shields in the depths of the sulcus are placed away from the alveolar buccal plates of the maxilla to stretch the periosteum and allow for forward development of the maxilla.The shields are fitted closely to the alveolar process of the mandible to hold or redirect growth posteriorly. The effectiveness of each appliance is dependent on patient cooperation and wearing them full time. 51

TreatmentTextbook of orthodontics by Dr. Samir Bishara
53
Design and construction :2 pads connecting soft tissues in forehead and chin region with a metallic frameworkElastics attached near the maxillary canine region with a downward and forward pull of 300 to the occlusal planeMetallic banded or acrylic bonded palatal expansion plate can be attached
54
TreatmentTextbook of orthodontics by Dr. Samir Bishara
Adjustable wire with hooks connected to midline framework for protraction using ELASTICS The design of anchorage system for maxillary protraction varies from palatal arches to rapid maxillary expansion (RME)54
Force magnitude and direction:Orthopedic force of 300-600 g/side10-12 hours/dayForce directed 5mm above the palatal plane 30 to 450 protraction force applied at maxillary canine regionTreatment timing:Primary or early mixed dentition periodMostly at the time of initial eruption of maxillary centralsDuration may vary from 3-16 months
55
TreatmentTextbook of orthodontics by Dr. Samir Bishara
Most of the orthopedic changes are observed within the first 3 to 6 months after maxillary expansion.Prolonged use of protraction force results in dentoalveolar changes including mesial movement of maxillary molars and proclination of maxillary incisors.Maxillary protraction below the center of resistance produces anticlockwise rotation of the maxilla. COR distal to maxillary first molar halfway between functional occlusal plane and lower border of orbit55
FACE MASK56
Treatment
56
57A study by Renato et al (J Appl Oral Sci 2015;23(1):101-9)Rapid maxillary expansion followed by facemask therapy was performed, to correct the anteroposterior relationship and improve the facial profile in a 7.6 year old patientTreatment
A 7.6-year old boy presented with Class III malocclusion associated with anterior crossbite; the mandible was shifted to the right and the maxilla had a transversal deficiency. The patient was followed for a 15-year period, after completion of the treatment, and stability was observed57
58
The facemask was used 20 hours a day, for 10 months, after which the patient was requested to use it only at night, and use the acrylic appliance with a palatine grid 24 hours a day. Six months later, a satisfactory relationship in the anteroposterior plane and a mild improvement in the vertical one were observed.58
2. CHIN CUPUsed in skeletal Class III malocclusion with a relative normal maxilla and a moderately protrusive mandible
Two types:Occipital pullVertical pull59
Textbook of orthodontics by Dr. Samir BisharaTreatment
Provide growth inhibition or redirection and posterior positioning of mandibleOccipital pull for patients with mandibular protrusionVertical pull for pts with steep mandi plane angle and excessive lower facial height59
Effects on growth:A) MandibleRedirection of mandibular growth verticallyBackward repositioning or rotation Remodeling with closure of gonial angle Posterior movement of Point B and PogonionA study by Graber showed that the use of a chincup promoted a backward movement of Point B, due to a clockwise rotation of the mandible. (AJO 1977)B) MaxillaPrevents retardation of Anteroposterior maxillary growth
60Textbook of orthodontics by Dr. Samir BisharaTreatment
Graber study Also The length of the mandible also decreased about 1 mm due to the pressure transmitted by the chincup to the condyle, which generated, on the other hand, a delay in vertical growth60
Force magnitude and direction:Orthopedic force of 300-500 g per side14 hours/dayDirected usually through condyle or below the condyle Treatment timing:Primary or early mixed dentitionTreatment time varies from 1 year to 4 year depending on severity61Textbook of orthodontics by Dr. Samir BisharaTreatment

ESCHLER APPLIANCEAlso known as progenic applianceAppliance design : (Marcio et al, J Appl Oral Sci 2011)Retention clasps e.g. Adams clasps for molars, and intermolar auxiliary clasps for deciduous teeth and premolarsAn eschler labial bow, made in 0.9-mm wire, and adapted at the labial surface of the lower incisorsAn occlusal bite-raising appliance in acrylic resin with a thickness of 2 to 3 mm63Treatment
Eschler modified labial bow to improve intermaxillary effectiveness. One part is active, moving the teeth and other is passive, holding the soft tissue of lower lip away and thus enhancing tooth movementIf necessary, springs and an expansion screw can be added 63
64A Case Report By Marcio Rodrigues de ALMEIDA et al(J Appl Oral Sci 2011,19(4):431-9)A 9 year old patient with chief complain of anterior crossbite treatment by chin cup and eschler appliance1st phase interceptive,treated by chin cup and eschler applianceTreatment
AIM - Angle Class III malocclusion, treated according to a two- stage approach (interceptive and corrective), and a long-term follow-up period.Case - presence of this malocclusion in other family members was reported, lack of development of the middle third, forward shift of the mandible, functional Class III malocclusion.a chincup was used only at night to maintain mandibular retrusion, and the eschler appliance, progenic appliance, was used during the day.64
652 years later, 2nd phase Corrective, to correct the increasing midline diastema in permanent dention. Lasted 14 months
Pre-treatment and post treatment cephalometric superimposition tracing
During the development of the occlusion, the patient was concerned about the gradual increase of the diastema between the central incisors. However, this condition was expected, since the growing mandible caused the proclination of the incisors, thereby increasing arch length Approximately 2 years after the interceptive phase, and due to the patients dissatisfaction with the diastema, the second phase of this protocol was initiated with the installation of a fixed appliance Lasted 65

FUTURE INNOVATIONS IN TREATMENT OF CLASS III1. Distraction osteogenesis to advance the maxilla78
Textbook of orthodontics by Dr. Samir BisharaTreatment
An incomplete osteotomy placed above the canine and molar roots was performed through a vestibular incision. Pterygomaxillary disjunction and dissection of the nasal floor and septum were not per- formed. Distraction forces were placed on the maxilla by a reverse-pull headgear and an intraoral orthopedic appliance to advance the maxilla 8 to 12 mm. 78
2. Dental onplants to provide absolute maxillary anchorage79
Textbook of orthodontics by Dr. Samir BisharaTreatment
One of the limitations in maxillary protraction with tooth-borne anchorage devices such as expansion appliances and palatal arches is the loss of dental anchorage (i.e., compensatory dental changes), especially with prolonged maxillary protraction. undesirable effects -loss of arch length, forward movement of maxillary molars, and proclination of the maxillary incisors. These dental changes can be minimized or even eliminated with the use of a novel device called maxillary onplants.The onplant comes as a disk, textured and coated with hydroxyapatite on one side and with an internal thread on the other side. The onplant can be placed on the palatal bone. After osseointegration is complete, forces can be applied to the teeth from the onplant palatal anchorage. apart from providing a stationary orthopedic anchorage, this device can be used in patients with multiple missing teeth79
