Camouflage of Skeletal Class III Malocclusion in an Adult Male Using Miniscrew Anchorage From the External Oblique Ridge in Conjunction With Face Mask Wear

Abstract

This article reports the successful camouflage of skeletal Class III malocclusion in a 20-year-old man through distalization of the mandibular dentition using miniscrew anchorage from the external oblique ridges of the mandible. In addition, maxillary face mask wear assisted in the closure of maxillary spacing without retroclination of maxillary incisors. This combination may be effective in the management of adult Class III skeletal malocclusions that are amenable to camouflage therapy.
