The timing at which orthodontic treatment starts, has always been a debatable matter. Pseudo Class III malocclusion is highly recommended to be treated early as this type of malocclusion worsens by age. If left untreated it may lead to serious problems like abnormal wear of the lower incisors, dental compensation of mandibular incisors leading to thinning of labial alveolar plate and/or gingival recession. There are different methods for solving this problem. The case report describes an effective method which corrects pseudo class III malocclusion in a short time in early mixed dentition by using a protrusive arch wire. |
