ABSTRACT
A woman with an Angle Class III malocclusion and bilateral posterior crossbites complaining of difficulty in chewing was treated orthodontically without surgery. The treatment comprised asymmetric extractions, a removable mandibular lingual arch constriction appliance to narrow the mandibular arch, and a standard edgewise appliance to align the teeth. Pretreatment, posttreatment, and 1-year follow-up records are shown. With this treatment strategy of constricting the mandibular arch by using a combination of removable and fixed orthodontic appliances, we achieved a good result with optimal occlusion.
