Abstract

ABSTRACT

Early treatment of malocclusion Class III returns harmony and functionality to the stomatognathic system by simplifying more complex corrective procedures. This type of treatment is important to provide the necessary conditions for growth and development of both the maxilla and jaw, making them become harmonious and thus avoiding unfavorable complications.

This case exposes a 6-year-old female patient treated at the San Francisco de Quito University clinic. The patient presented class III malocclusion; her representative indicated that the patient possesses a class III hereditary pattern of her paternal family. The present case shows the use of Scheler's arch as a treatment option for this type of malocclusion in primary dentition after a precise diagnosis.

Key words: Early treatment, malocclusion Class III, Scheler's Arch
