the lower teeth occluded mesial to their
normal relationship the width of one
premolar or even more in extreme
cases”.

4. CLASSIFICATION
• TWEED (1966)
CLASS III MALOCCLUSION
PSEUDO CLASS III
SKELETAL CLASS III
Normal Mandible
Large Mandible
Underdeveloped
Maxillae
Underdeveloped or
Normal Maxillae

5. •MOYERS
ACCORDING TO THE CAUSE :
Osseous
Muscular
Dental
Anterior Positioning : Tooth contact relationship which
force the mandible into a forward position.(Pseudo Class III)

6. • FREQUENCY OF CLASS III MALOCCLUSION
7 to 13 Years
1) Caucasians
1 to 4 %
2) African – Americans
3) Asian
14 to 18 Years
5 to 8%
Maxillary deficiency
4) Japanese
4 % Younger / 14 % Older
5) Chinese
3 % Younger / 13 % Older

7. ETIOLOGY
McGuigan (1966) – Inheritance of class III
malocclusion in Hapsburg Family, having the
distinct characteristics of prognathic lower jaw.
Litton et al (1970) – Dental characteristics of class
III are related to genetic inheritance.
Functional factors – Anteriorly positioned tongue
believed to be a local epigenetic factor.
Mental diseases – Compulsive habits of
www.indiandentalacademy.com
protruding the mandible.
8. Enlarged tonsils and naso-respiratory diseases – Results in
anterior tongue posturing.
Premature loss of decidious molars – Results in anterior
mandibular displacement.
Tongue thrusting habit – Prevents eruption of buccal
segments, thus causing auto-rotation of mandible into
excessive intra occlusal space.

9. COMPONENTS OF CLASS III MALOCCLUSION
• Vertical components :
• Vertical Deficient
• Vertical Normal
• Vertically excess
•Anterio Posterior components :
• Maxillary Deficient
• Mandibular excess
• Combined Maxillary deficient and
mandibular excess

11. Class III Skeletal Growth Pattern
1) Cranial Base
Angle – More Acute
Middle Cranial Fossa Posterior and Superior
Alignment
2) Maxilla
Decreased horizontal maxillary growth when
compared with the patients with class I
malocclusion.
3) Mandible
Gonial Angle Obtuse
Anteriorly placed
Dentoalveolar compensation Proclination of
upper incisors, Retroclination of lower incisors.

12. Indication and Contraindication for
Early Class III treatment
TURPIN et al (1981)
Positive Factors :
Good Facial esthetics
Mild skeletal disharmony
No familial prognathism
Ant-Post functional shift
Convergent facial types
Negative Factors : Poor facial esthetics
Severe skeletal disharmony
Growth complete

13. Treatment of Pseudo class III
Malocclusion
Clinical Features :
Anterior cross bite with premature tooth
contact with CO-CR discrepancy
Treatment :
1) Reverse SS crown
2) Tongue Blade
3) Fixed Appliance
www.indiandentalacademy.com
14. Treatment of Skeletal class III malocclusion
1) Pre-Adolescence (Growth Remaining)
a) Functional Appliance Therapy
Frankel III regulator
Two separate studies concluded ;
1) Dento alveolar effect
2) Downward and Backward rotation of
Mandible
www.indiandentalacademy.com
15. CHIN CUP THERAPY
Indication Normal maxilla and prognathic
mandible
Effect of Mandibular growth
• Redirection of Mandibular growth vertically
• Backward repositioning of mandible
• Remodeling of mandible with closure of
gonial angle.
Effect of Maxillary Growth

16. Force magnitude and Direction
TYPES
• Occipital Pull
• Vertical Pull
Orthopaedics force of 300-400 grams / 14 hours a day.
Treatment Timing
Primary to early mixed dentition
Stability
Sugarwara et al :- Though skeletal changes were
greatly improved initially they were however not

maintained.
17. FACE MASK THERAPY
Delaire et al , (1960) : Revived interest in using
face mask for Maxillary protraction
Petite : Later modified Delaire’s concept by
increasing the force and thus decreasing the
treatment time.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
19. Maxillary protraction below centre of
resistance produces anticlockwise
rotation of the maxilla
Protraction elastics attached near the
maxillary canine with a downward and
forward pull of 30 degrees to the
occlusal plane minimize bite opening.
Force : 300 to 600 grams per side depending on age.
Time : 10 to 12 Hrs / Day
Duration : 3 to 6 months

2) Acrylic bonded palatal expansion appliance

21. Cokish and Shapio ( 1979) :- Anticlockwise maxilla
- Clockwise rotation of mandible
Kambala et al (1977) : Maxilla displaced anteriorly with
changes in the circum maxillary sutures with forward and
downward movement of maxilla
Does it make a different if protraction was initiated during
expansion or after expansion ?
Beik (1984) : Found that greater forward movement of maxilla
was initiated during maxillary expansion
STABILITY :
- Effects on maxilla remain stable for 1 – 2 years after treatment
- In some studies maxilla and mandible reverted back to original
www.indiandentalacademy.com
position.
