Much can be said about multiple diagnostic alternatives and treatments known to this date for treatment of class III malcoclusions, nevertheless, oftentimes results obtained can be poor, slow and even frustrating for the specialist.
How could it be explained to a patient that after visiting three dentists, and having used multiple class III functional appliances such as chin cups, facial masks, expansion and extraction of premolars for a seven year period, that he still requires orthognathic surgery, two further years of treatment, multiple gingival grafts in lower incisors, crowns in molars due to decalcification, as well as life-long follow-up of his short roots?
