“…[14][15][16][17] Decrease the SNB angle was due to more backward displacement of the mandible with rotation, this might have been due to the chincap effect of the face mask therapy. This explains the slight increase in the facial height, also the mandible [14,18,19] On the other hand, this result was in contrary to study conducted by Mermigos et al and Kulbersh et al, where the ANB angle was increased by the increase in the SNA angle only. [20,21] Regarding the vertical dimension in the current study, there was revealed slight increase in SN/OCP and SN/GOGN, respectively, this could be due to the rotation of the mandible; this might have been due to the chincap effect of the face mask therapy.…”

Context: Treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion in growing patients is a challenging part of contemporary orthodontic practice. Many appliances are now available for correcting skeletal Class III malocclusion due to maxillary deficiency. In the current study, the Wunderer's activator and face mask were used for the correction of skeletal Class III in growing patients to overcome the latter side effects of other appliances. Objective: Evaluation of dentoskeletal changes before and after growth modification by Wunderer's activator and face mask. Materials and Methods: A total of 12 growing Class III subjects with maxillary retrusion in the early mixed or early permanent dentition (6 male and 6 female) were included in this study. The samples were treated by Wunderer's activator and a face mask for 12 months. Lateral cephalometric tracings were done before and after correction to evaluate the efficacy of Wunderer's activator and face mask. Result: The results showed a highly statistically significant increase in the sella-nasion A angle by 1.98° (P < 0.001) and a statistically significant decrease in the sella-nasion B angle by −0.83° (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the wits appraisal was found to be highly significant increased by 2.8 mm. The vertical measurements showed significant increase where the SN/occlusal plane (OCP) angle and the SN/Gonion-Gnathion angle where increased by 2.1° and 1.78°, respectively. The overjet and proclination maxillary incisors display were improved with retroclination of the lower incisors. Conclusion: Face mask and Wunderer's activator were effective in the treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion due to maxillary retrusion.

“…Perawatan dimulai dengan mengekspansi rahang atas menggunakan rapid maxillary expansion, kemudian reverse headgear disertai dengan piranti inclined bite plane anterior rahang bawah lepasan untuk mengoreksi crossbite insisivus; setelah terkoreksi, bite plane dilepas dan penggunaan headgear dilanjutkan. 13 Disimpulkan bahwa inclined bite plane dapat dibuat pada plat ortodontik. Pada rahang atas berfungsi sebagai piranti fungsional untuk merawat maloklusi Klas II divisi 1 dan sebagai piranti retensi pascaperawatan menggunakan twin block, sedangkan pada rahang bawah berfungsi untuk mengoreksi crossbite anterior.…”

Background: The prevalence of malocclusion in Indonesia is about 80% of the population and is a fairly common dental and oral health problem so that treatment of malocclusion from an early age is very important and needed. One of malocclusion treatment for preventing malocclusion is the use of removable orthodontic devices in the form of inclined bite plane. Con-clusion: Inclined bite plane can be made on the orthodontic plate of maxilla and mandible. In the maxilla inclined bite plane can function as a functional appliance in treatment of Class II malocclusion division 1, as a retention device after treatment using twin blocks and in the mandible serves to correct anterior crossbite.

“…Maxillary retrusion, mandibular protrusion, or a combination of the two are the causative factors for skeletal Class-III anomalies. [1][2][3][4] In order to avoid acting in the wrong direction while treating individuals with malocclusion, it is known as true mandibular prognathism. Therefore, to attain a normal or excellent facial appearance, mandibular surgery alone (for instance, sagittal split ramus osteotomy) is adequate.…”

: What is now known as a Class-III malocclusion was initially recognized by Pierre Fauchard. True Class-III malocclusion is a genetically based condition that manifests in childhood. As the youngster reaches the teenage growth spurt, it becomes more obvious. Typically, we will discover a parent or grandparent who is dealing with the same issue. Class-III malocclusion, however, is not a disease. The abnormality itself is a compensatory mechanism to make up for variation that has happened at some point during the course of the individual's development.The case presented here demonstrates the importance of presurgical decompensation, surgical planning, including cephalometric predictions, and mock surgery in the management of severe skeletal Class-III malocclusion. The treatment included comprehensive orthodontic and surgical workup that included bilateral sagittal split osteotomy for mandibular setback of 3mm and LeFort-I osteotomy for maxillary advancement of 3mm. Class-I jaw relationships with a pleasing profile and correctly aligned arches were attained after 2 years of detailed treatment. This led to an aesthetic improvement and a significant increase in the patient's confidence. Class-III skeletal malocclusions can be corrected surgically or through camouflage. However, an ortho-surgical approach may be necessary if the issue cannot be resolved with orthodontics alone. When done correctly, bi-jaw surgery has repeatedly been shown to be quite successful.
