Abstract

The pseudo-Class III can be defined as a functional reflex of an anterior positioning of the mandible,

an acquired muscular position that simulates a mesiocclusion. The diagnosis and treatment plan of this

condition must be based on a cephalometric evaluation that provides information about the relative

contributions of the skeletal and dental components to the malocclusion. There is still great controversies

about when is the best moment to start the Class III treatment. The purpose of this article is to

describe a case report in which a Class III patient was successfully treated with reverse traction.
