Determining the Incisor relationship for the treatment of Class III malocclusion from a combined orthodontic and prosthodontic perspective

Abstract

Patients presenting with Class III malocclusion often present significant challenges for the orthodontist and restorative clinician. The characteristic anterior crossbite is commonly associated with a maxillo-mandibular skeletal base discrepancy leading to both functional and esthetic issues. Three potential incisal tooth positions are discussed using clinical examples including implants.
