Abstract

In orthodontic therapy alone, perhaps in skeletal class III cases with facial asymmetry, achieving an excellent occlusal result and maintaining a stable posttreatment occlusion is difficult. Growth modification should begin before the pubertal growth spurt; there are only 2 options after that. Adults with skeletal class III malocclusions require orthognathic surgery in addition to traditional orthodontic treatment to boost self-esteem, restore normal occlusion, and improve facial harmony. Unquestionably, a multidisciplinary approach is required to achieve exceptional treatment outcomes in adult patients with diverse skeletal and dental issues. In order to provide a comprehensive therapeutic outcome for the patient, an orthodontist must collaborate with a surgeon.
