Early Orthopaedic Intervention with Skeletal Class III Malocclusion Using Reverse Twin Block and Chin Cup: A Case Report

This case report describes the early orthopaedic treatment of a 9-year-old male patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion due to mandibular prognathism. Treatment consisted of a reverse twin block appliance combined with chin cup therapy. After 3 months of active treatment, significant skeletal and dental improvements were achieved, including positive overjet and overbite, edge-to-edge molar occlusion, and a more harmonious facial profile. This case highlights the effectiveness of early intervention in modifying skeletal growth and minimising the need for future surgical treatment.

Abstract

This case report describes the early orthopaedic treatment of a 9-year-old male patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion due to mandibular prognathism. Treatment consisted of a reverse twin block appliance combined with chin cup therapy. After 3 months of active treatment, significant skeletal and dental improvements were achieved, including positive overjet and overbite, edge-to-edge molar occlusion, and a more harmonious facial profile. This case highlights the effectiveness of early intervention in modifying skeletal growth and minimising the need for future surgical treatment.
