Summary:Certain malocclusions have to be treated at an early age to avoid surgeries for the correction in the future.

Proper case selection taking into consideration skeletal and dental age with the use of various diagnostic aids helps us to identify and treat the malocclusions before it is too late. In this case series, we report three patients with skeletal jaw malrelationship treated with functional and orthopaedic appliances.
