Description
Radwan Haffaf and co-authors present a case report from two thousand twenty-four on treating a severe jaw mismatch in a teenager without surgery. In class three malocclusion, the lower jaw sits too far forward, and the pattern is among the hardest problems in orthodontics. Causes are mixed, so many treatment routes exist.
The patient was near the border where surgery is often advised, but a non-surgical plan was chosen based on skeletal age and the patient's own wish. Treatment used rapid widening of the upper jaw, then fixed braces with elastic bands. Over fifteen months the upper jaw moved forward, a stuck tooth erupted on its own, and the bite corrected. The authors report a pleasant, working result.
