Abstract
The aim of the present study is to present skeletal and dental treatment outcomes of a nongrowing patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion treated using skeletal anchorage. A 15 year-old female patient had applied to our clinic for orthodontic treatment with chief complaint of her lower teeth being protrusive. Clinic and radiographic examination of the patient showed that she had a straight profile with dental and skeletal Class III relationship. Since she had straight profile, edge to edge anterior tooth relationship and, chose compensation therapy choice, we decided to treat Class III malocclusion using miniplates inserted on zygomathic buttress for the use of Class III elastics. After leveling of maxillary and mandibular teeth, intermaxillary class III elastics between miniplates and lower canines were applied for 6 months. After 15 months of total treatment time, Class I canine and molar relationships were established. Orthodontic camouflage treatment of a nongrowing patient was successfully performed in a short time with miniplate anchorage
