摘要：

Class III malocclusions with anterior crossbites pose significant challenges in orthodontic treatment, especially in growing children. This case report details the early intervention of a 12 -year -old patient presenting with a Class III malocclusion characterized by an anterior crossbite and mandibular prognathism. A chincup was employed to inhibit mandibular growth and encourage maxillary development. Consistent use of the chincup, with regular follow-ups and adjustments, led to significant improvements. The anterior crossbite was corrected, resulting in a Class I molar relationship and an improved facial profile. The maxillary arch perimeter increased, providing space for the eruption of canines and premolars. This case demonstrates that early intervention with a chincup can effectively manage Class III malocclusion with an anterior crossbite, highlighting the importance of timely orthodontic assessment and treatment to achieve stable, long-term results.
