The aim is to explore non-surgical methods for managing severe skeletal Class III malocclusion with clear aligners and miniscrews.
Non-extraction treatment of a 26-year-old woman with skeletal Class III malocclusion.
Utilized clear aligners, maxillary expansion, and mandibular buccal-shelf miniscrews.
Treatment duration was 32 months.
Corrected crowding, anterior open bite, and posterior crossbite by treatment end.
Achieved bilateral Class I canine relationships and established normal overjet and overbite.
Treatment objectives largely maintained at 1-year follow-up with limited relapse.

Hung et al. (2026) studied this question.
