Class III malocclusion is a growth-related challenging condition for orthodontists. We present a case of a 11-year-old girl with a skeletal class III malocclusion with bilateral cross bite, and a functional shift of the lower dental midline. A multiphase clear aligners' treatment was scheduled with the aim of removing all dental interferences which involved an anterior displacement of the mandible. At one-year follow-up, clear aligners' therapy resulted in skeletal and dental improvements. Clear aligners therapy represents a valid alternative to fixed appliance therapy in the early interception of class III malocclusion. The present manuscript was prepared following the CARE guidelines.
III类错颌畸形对于正畸医生来说是一种与生长相关的具有挑战性的病症。我们展示了一例11岁女孩的病例，她患有双侧后牙反合的骨性III类错颌畸形以及下颌牙中线功能性偏移。计划采用多阶段透明矫治器治疗，目的是消除所有涉及下颌前移的牙合干扰。在一年的随访中，透明矫治器治疗带来了骨骼和牙齿方面的改善。在III类错颌畸形的早期干预中，透明矫治器治疗是固定矫治器治疗的一种有效替代方法。本手稿是按照CARE指南编写的。
