  • Title: Nonsurgical correction of skeletal Class III malocclusion with lateral shift in an adult.
    Author: Hisano M, Chung CR, Soma K.
    Journal: Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop; 2007 Jun; 131(6):797-804. PubMed ID: 17561061.
    Abstract:
    In an adult patient with a severe skeletal Class III malocclusion with midline deviation, combined surgical-orthodontic therapy is often the treatment of choice because it has a satisfying outcome, and the results tend to be stable. Sometimes, however, patients will not accept surgery as a part of the treatment. We report a nonsurgical treatment approach and its outcomes for an adult patient with a skeletal Class III malocclusion with a lateral shift. Treatment included distal movement of the mandibular arch and extraction of the third molars.
