Abstract
In this case report, we describe the outcome of a two-phase orthodontic approach used to treat a 4-year and 8-month-old girl who exhibited excessive negative overjet and skeletal Class III jaw relationship. In Phase I treatment, growth modification using a protraction headgear appliance was used to normalize maxillomandibular growth. A forward growth of the maxilla and a normal overjet were achieved. During pubertal growth period, a skeletal Class III jaw relationship persisted due to differential jaw growth. A Phase II camouflage treatment with the help of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) was used to distalize the mandibular dentition. Good occlusion and facial esthetics were achieved, and the outcome has been maintained for 2 years after completion of the active treatment.
