TAD driven Class III Camouflage: Eight Point Protocol to Optimize Efficiency, Aesthetics and Stability

Although Class III malocclusions are the least frequent amongst sagittal malocclusions, they tend to be challenging to treat and more likely to need orthognathic surgery for the best treatment. The reported incidence of this malocclusion ranges below 20%, with Asian groups experiencing the greatest prevalence and Caucasian populations experiencing the lowest. Class III malocclusions can be divided into two groups: developing and non-developing. With children (ages 7 to 9) benefiting more orthopedically, early intervention is typically advised for Class III malocclusions that are still developing.
