In this case report will showing two patients with skeletal Class III and the treatment for the first patient using fixed appliance and Class III elastic, the second patient using camouflage treatment and extraction of both the mandibular first premolars, and Class III elastic. The result of treatment are for the first patient malocclusion could be treated with Class III elastic and orthodontic movement, and the second patient the treatment technique needed extraction of the mandibular first premolar and used Class III elastic.
