Abstract
ABSTRACTIntroduction: Supervising the development of occlusion, managing problems during the transition from mixed to permanent dentition, as well as controlling environmental factors that contribute to establishing malocclusion, are important actions to achieve a Class I occlusion with facial balance. Among these problems, the malocclusions associated with dysfunctions such as mouth breathing or obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), atypical swallowing and abnormal tongue position, open bites, crossbites and maxillomandibular discrepancies, and especially the Class III malocclusion can be listed. Objective: The purpose of this article is to present and discuss the main aspects relevant to the benefits of performing the treatment of Class III malocclusion in patients with growth.

Supervising the development of occlusion, managing problems during the transition from mixed to permanent dentition, as well as controlling environmental factors that contribute to establishing malocclusion, are important actions to achieve Class I occlusion with facial balance, which often does not occur naturally without interceptive orthodontic treatment
Orthodontic approaches may be related to different categories of problems, such as a malocclusion in development, in which it may be necessary to intervene to reduce or interrupt the unfavorable change;[1] or a dentition whose normal development can be interrupted by some local etiological factor, which requires treatment to maintain or restore the appropriate development.[2]
