The study presents four cases of camouflage treatment of skeletal Class III with occlusal asymmetry in adult patients. Cephalometric analysis was performed using two different reference lines, S-N and FH. The treatment was carried out without the use of additional fixed appliances, no extraoral elastics for maxillary protection, and no extraction of teeth in the mandible. In addition to the characteristic elements and archwires taken from the Ricketts technique, NiTi, TMA, Wilcock archwires, Class III asymmetric intraoral elastic and criss-cross as well as individualized biomechanical systems were used. It has been proven that mild and moderate skeletal Class III with occlusal asymmetry can be treated with orthodontic camouflage, without additional fixed appliances for expansion or protraction of the maxilla. Moreover, it has been shown that it is possible to effectively treat this defect without extracting the teeth in the mand. Full article
