Online published on 8 October, 2014. Abstract The skeletal Class III malocclusion though comparatively small in incidence is one of the most difficult malocclusion to treat. It can be due to maxillary retrognathism, mandibular prognathism or both. Reverse pull Headgear or Face Mask have been used for early maxillary protraction. Face mask therapy has been shown to improve the skeletal relationship. The article presents a case report of the skeletal class III treated using a Face mask and Reverse Twin block appliance.
