Abstract

ABSTRACT 
 
This case report presents the treatment of a 8 
years and 4 months old girl who had skeletal Class III 
malocclusion with 3 mm negative overjet and 3 mm 
overbite and a narrow maxilla using functional 
regulator of Frankel (FR III). Without fixed appliance 
application, prominent profile improvement and ideal 
overjet and overbite were all obtained as a result of 
18 months Frankel Treatment alone. These changes 
were maintained at 3,5 years after treatment. This 
case report indicates that successful outcomes may be 
achieved with FR III application in patients with Class 
III malocclusion in the early mixed dentition period.
