Abstract
This case report describes the orthodontic retreatment a patient with a skeletal Class III malocclusion. The clinical examination showed a concave profile caused by a retruded maxilla and a prognathic mandible, an occlusal cant, and absence of all first premolars. A surgery-first approach was combined with skeletal anchorage implants in the maxillary arch and tandem mechanics. The esthetic facial profile, pleasant smile, appropriate occlusion, and overall good treatment outcomes remained stable 5 years after active orthodontic treatment.
