Class III Correction with Clear Aligners

What is Class III Correction ?

Class III correction is an orthodontic treatment that focuses on correcting a Class III bite, where the lower teeth and jaw are positioned ahead of the upper teeth, often resulting in an underbite appearance. This condition can affect smile aesthetics, chewing function, speech, and overall facial balance.
