Non surgical treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion: report of two adult cases.

This article describes orthodontic treatment of two adult patients presenting with a skeletal Class III malocclusion. A camouflage treatment procedure was implemented for each one of them in order to resolve the dental problems; For the first patient, we extracted two mandibular second premolars, and for the second one, the decayed first permanent mandibular molars. The aim of this paper is to show that treatment of borderline skeletal Class III malocclusions by dentoalveolar compensation is possible and can assure occlusal improvement and favorable effect on facial esthetics, if indications are initially well established.
