Abstract

Because malocclusion involves complex facial abnormalities, orthodontic treatment may be rather challenging, especially for Class III malocclusion. In order to treat adult Class III malocclusion, this narrative review assesses and contrasts the effectiveness of surgical and non-surgical methods. With an emphasis on current developments over the last ten years, the study methodically obtained and examined literature from reliable databases. The results show that orthodontic camouflage, protraction facemask, and chin cup therapy are excellent non-surgical therapies for mild to moderate malocclusions, frequently avoiding the need for surgery. Although helpful for young patients, chin cup treatment could not endure if it is stopped before the patient reaches full maturity. With notable improvements in overjet and facial aesthetics, protraction facemask treatment has promise in lessening the need for orthognathic surgery. When a patient cannot afford or is uncomfortable with surgery, orthodontic camouflage is a good alternative. More effective and long-lasting repairs may be achieved for severe malocclusions by surgical procedures such orthognathic surgery, surgically aided rapid palatal expansion (SARPE), and microimplant-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE). These operations, however, come with more risk and need more time to recuperate from. The present study emphasises the significance of customised treatment planning in Class III malocclusion therapy. This planning should take into account the patient's age, preferences, and the severity of the malocclusion.
