Abstract :
Class III malocclusion treatment is challenging to orthodontists because of its genetic basis
and tendency for relapse following treatment. In adult patients, this malocclusion can be treated by
either camouflage or combined orthodontic and surgical treatment. Since there are complexity in
several aspects for Class III malocclusion, particularly in the case where the surgery is required, the
aim of this review was to gather information concerning the etiologies, treatment strategies, and
treatment considerations, especially for the orthognathic surgical treatment of skeletal Class III patients.
