ABSTRACT
Class III malocclusions are the least common type of malocclusions, yet they are often more complicated to treat and more likely to require orthognathic surgery for optimal correction followed by orthodontics. 1 Treating such cases becomes much more challenging when the patient rejects surgery due to fear, cost, or aesthetic concerns. With adequate knowledge and technical acumen regarding suitability for treating class III cases with non-surgical treatment, this alternative treatment option could be used to achieve faster results with prominent dento-facial manipulations. This case report describes a class III crossbite case treated using an innovative non-surgical treatment method using Carrier Class III Motion Appliance.
Key words: Class III, Non-Surgical alternative.
