Abstract
Class III malocclusion is a rare malocclusion. Treating it is one of the most complex parts of contemporary orthodontic practice owing to the difficulties in accurate growth prediction, longer duration of mandibular growth and long term retention requirements. Different treatment modalities for correction of developing class III malocclusion are orthopedic appliances, myofunctional appliances and combination of the two though rare. This presentation shows cases treated with face mask, reverse twin block and face mask reverse twin block combination. Five years follow up shows their results to be stable.
