Abstract

In this case presentation, it was aimed to treat a male patient aged 12 years and 1 month with Skeletal Class III anomaly characterized by maxillary retrognathia and achieve Skeletal Class I bite without the need for future orthognathic sur- gical procedures. In order to easily bypass the anterior crossbite of the patient, an intraoral clear plate to increase the occlusion was used. In order to rectify the maxillary retrognathia, a petit-type face mask was used for 8 weeks. With the application of the face mask, a successful treatment was achieved. Significant corrections were achieved in the skeletal, dental and soft tissue values of the patient.
