| Summary: | A 16-year-old female patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion and bilateral posterior cross bite complaining of difficulty in chewing
was treated orthodontically without surgery (camouflage treatment). The treatment comprised of fixed orthodontic treatment with MBT
prescription (0.022˝×0.028˝ slot) using quad helix appliance for bilateral expansion of maxillary arch and Class III elastics for occlusal
correction. Post-treatment records showed normal overbite and overjet with acceptable occlusion. So with this treatment strategy
of expanding the maxillary arch using a quad helix appliance and use of Class III elastics, we achieved a good result with optimal
occlusion. |
