“…Most importantly, the functional resin turbo was a minimalistic method to provide interceptive orthodontic treatment. Although braces placed on the permanent maxillary incisors are the traditional fixed method used to correct an anterior crossbite in the early mixed dentition [9], this approach has disadvantages, including the potential for decalcifications, increased treatment cost and number of appointments, and fatigue when the child is due for comprehensive treatment. With regard to interceptive orthodontics in younger patients, a streamlined approach is most favorable.…”

Background and Overview. Lingual eruption of the permanent maxillary central incisors in the early mixed dentition can result in a traumatic anterior crossbite, causing mobility and gingival recession to the opposing mandibular incisors. Case Description. This case report presents a common finding of a 7-year-old boy with a dental crossbite and pseudo-Class III malocclusion caused by lingual eruption of the maxillary central incisors. An interceptive phase of orthodontic treatment was provided by bonding a beveled resin turbo on the mandibular incisors. The crossbite was corrected in 3 months without any orthodontic appliances. In the absence of the traumatic occlusion, the mandibular incisors stabilized and the gingival tissue was expected to regenerate. Conclusions and Practical Implications. Dentists and orthodontists can place beveled resin turbos on the mandibular incisors to jump an anterior dental crossbite conservatively, without the use of orthodontic brackets and wires.

“…However, as it continues, the mandible slides forward to achieve intercuspidation, which affects the position of the chin and makes it come forward. Another clinical criterion of differential diagnosis for skeletal Class III opposed to pseudo Class III is the patient's ability to bring the incisors into centric occlusion contact [29][30][31] (Figure 2). If the patient cannot achieve this position despite trying, then there is a skeletal problem, while if the patient achieves the position, this is an indication that the case is a pseudo Class III.…”

Summary Skeletal Class III is a relatively rare malocclusion of the craniofacial complex and the accurate differential diagnosis of its aetiology is necessary so that it may be correctly treated. Differential diagnosis of Class III aetiopathogenesis should distinguish between: a) true skeletal Class III as opposed to pseudo Class III; b) three forms of Skeletal Class III, in which there is either maxillary deficiency only or mandibular excess only or combination of both; and c) skeletal Class III that may be treated with orthodontic treatment alone, as opposed to Class III that is difficult to manage with orthodontic treatment alone and requires combine orthodontic and surgical approach. Differential diagnosis is mainly based on clinical examination and cephalometric analysis. The aim of this paper is to present the basic principles and modes of achieving differential diagnosis in skeletal Class III cases.

“…So our treatment objectives were (1) to improve facial appearance, (2) to improve the skeletal jaw relationship between maxilla and mandible and (3) to establish correct anterior occlusion with ideal overjet and overbite. …”

“…The main reason for unpredictability in treating class III malocclusion lies in the lack of consensus in understanding the etiology and classifications of malocclusion [1][2][3]. Class III malocclusion can be classified into three types: true skeletal, dental and pseudo class III malocclusion, which usually has the same appearance [3,4].…”

For most clinicians it has always been difficult to decide the exact timing to treat a class III malocclusion. This malocclusion can be classified into three types: true skeletal, dental or pseudo class III malocclusion, which usually determines the prognosis. The aim of this article is to demonstrate a simple, effective method for early treatment of class III malocclusion in mixed dentition and to emphasize the benefits of early intervention in the shortest treatment time. In this case, the patient was treated with a fixed 2 x 4 appliance on maxillary and mandibular arches for nine months, followed by a retention protocol. Once the treatment was completed, the patient was followed for a six-month period. The results showed that with early intervention it is possible to achieve favorable outcomes in pediatric patients with fixed braces in class III malocclusion. It is concluded that early intervention is mandatory and it should be carried out in all patients, and there should be no second thought in reaching such a decision.
