Class III malocclusion has a large spectrum ranging from edge to edge bite to a large negative overjet, with extreme variations of underlying skeletal jaw bases, and great diversity of craniofacial forms, with the deformity extending deep into the cranial structures.There is a paucity of data on the growth characteristics of Class III malocclusions. This is not only because of the relatively low prevalence of this malocclusion in the different ethnic groups, but also due to the well recognized need for early intervention by both the public and dental professionals. The recurring theme of the characteristic growth of the malocclusion is that it is not self-correcting and will worsen with time.Management of the Class III malocclusion poses a challenge to the clinician.The timing of treatment varies from early intervention during the pre-pubertal stages of growth, to intervention after the patient has completed their active growth.
