Abstract
Skeletal Class III malocclusion possess a difficult challenge to treat for clinicians. They are multifactorial and include genetic and environmental factors. Early intervention of Class III needs orthopedic correction, whereas, in adults, orthodontic camouflage can be done to treat mild cases while severe skeletal discrepancies demand orthognathic surgery along with orthodontic therapy. In this case report, a case of mandibular prognathism with Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO) setback was presented.
