Abstract

Introduction: a class III malocclusion is a complex disorder which presents alterations in the three planes of the oral space, it results in several craniofacial expressions with a wide range of dental and skeletal disorders. That is why, it is considered one of the most complex orthodontic problems and most difficult to diagnose and treat.

Case report: a 12-year-old, female, black patient with a health history, attending at Ormani Arenado Llonch Dental Clinic, Orthodontic Office, presented a front inverted occlusion with no previous history of inheritance, who kept the habit of milk-bottle until 9 years and currently has tongue thrust, a front crossbite of 2 mm, molar ratio of mesial-occlusion, a bad relationship on her bony bases with a reversed bilabial closure. A therapeutic modality that included a clinical and cephalometric diagnosis with subsequent orthodontic treatment was chosen, relying on the functional appliance of retro-propulsion stimulator 2 for correcting this malocclusion.

Conclusions: a case of a class III malocclusion was presented in the early stages of permanent dentition using orthodontic appliances, achieving good functional results as well as the restoration of aesthetics.
