Abstract
The orthodontic treatment, especially for children with developing class III malocclusions has always been a controversy with regards to the timing of intervention. Imbalances in facial growth occur, which worsen the facial profile with age. An 8 year old female child presented with Class III malocclusion associated with anterior and posterior cross bite, mid face deficiency, forwardly placed mandible and a concave profile. Early intervention by rapid maxillary expansion was planned followed by facemask therapy to improve the maxillary deficiency, facial profile and dental anterior and posterior cross bite. The treatment period was for 1 year and there was an observable change in the facial profile and correction of cross bite. Therefore early intervention helps in modifying the maxillofacial growth and providing facial balance when intervened at the right time.
