Interdisciplinary diagnosis and treatment planning for Class III malocclusion and determining the appropriate anterior tooth positions for individual patients

Abstract

Abstract Patients presenting with Class III malocclusion often present significant challenges for the orthodontist and restorative clinician. The characteristic anterior crossbite is commonly associated with a maxillo‐mandibular skeletal base discrepancy leading to both functional and esthetic issues. Three potential incisal tooth positions are discussed using clinical examples including implants.
