Angle Class I malocclusion, with class III skeletal tendency, treated with growth control

Ademir Roberto BRUNETTO

Angle Class III malocclusion is characterized by an anteroposterior dental alteration, which might be accompanied by skeletal deformities. Usually, the facial aspect becomes aesthetically compromised, mostly when the middle third of the face is affected (this is the main reason why patients seek for treatment). This case was presented to the directorship of the Brazilian Board of Orthodontics and Facial Orthopedics (BBO), standing for the free category, as a part of the requirements to obtain the Board’s Certificate.
