Abstract

This case report details the successful orthodontic camouflage treatment of a 21-year-old female with Angle's Class III malocclusion, characterized by skeletal and dental features. The patient opted against orthognathic surgery and, instead, underwent mandibular first premolar extraction for camouflage treatment. The case highlights the careful consideration of treatment options, including the decision to maintain a Class III molar relationship. The treatment achieved satisfactory results in skeletal, dental, and soft tissue aspects, demonstrating the viability of camouflage treatment for mild to moderate Class III malocclusions. The absence of established guidelines underscores the importance of personalized treatment planning for such cases.
