Enhancing Diagnostic and Treatment Strategies for Class Iii Malocclusion
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Class III malocclusion is among the most challenging dentofacial problems due to its multifactorial etiology, phenotypic heterogeneity, and variable growth trajectories. Defined by a negative sagittal jaw relationship and anterior crossbite tendency, it encompasses combinations of maxillary deficiency, mandibular excess, or both, compounded by dentoalveolar compensations. Beyond esthetic concerns, Class III discrepancies can compromise mastication, speech, periodontal health, temporomandibular joint function, and airway, with psychosocial impacts that often begin early in life.
