<![CDATA[Introduction: Correcting a Class III subdivision malocclusion is usually a challenge foran orthodontist, especially if the patient’s profile does not allow for any extractions.One treatment option is to use asymmetric intermaxillary elastics to correct theunilateral anteroposterior discrepancy. However, the success of this method depends onthe individual response of each patient and his or her compliance in using the elastics. CaseReport: This case report presents a 23-year-old male who had Class III subdivisionmalocclusion. He had straight profile. Intraoral examination showed mild crowding onupper and lower anterior teeth. The treatment plan consisted of an extraction mandibularthird molars and MBT prescription bracket. Following the treatment, a satisfactory resultwas achieved with an ideal facial profile. Conclusion: A good occlusion and Class Imolar relationship can be achieved with asymetric Class III elastics and third molarextraction when patient compliance in using the elastics is satisfactory.]]>
