This case report describes the possibility of treating an adult skeletal Class III malocclusion with the use of microimplants. A 29-year-old male patient presented with a skeletal Class III malocclusion with a mild prognathic mandible and a retrognathic maxilla, a high mandibular plane angle with Angle’s Class III malocclusion, severe anterior cross bite, deep bite, bilateral maxillary posterior cross-bite, rotated maxillary incisors and imbricated and rotated mandibular incisors. Pre-adjusted edgewise appliance, Roth’s prescription, (0.022 x 0.028 inch slot), was strapped. Microimplants of diameter 1.3mm and length 8mm drilled between the mandibular second premolar and the permanent first molar bilaterally was used for the enmasse retraction of the mandibular anteriors which effectively corrected the reverse overjet and normalised the Class III features of the patient.
