A Class III malocclusion associated with dental asymmetry is a complex diagnostic and treatment problem in orthodontics. The goals of maintaining or improving the facial profile and achieving good function are decisive factors when considering whether to plan a surgical or a nonsurgical treatment approach. A fixed appliance in combination with extractions could be considered for nonsurgical management of this type of malocclusion in the permanent dentition. This article presents the results of an orthodontic approach to a Class III subdivision malocclusion in an adult treated with mandibular first molar extractions. The extractions provided the space needed to correct the overjet and overbite and to improve the intercuspation.
