Source abstract
Skeletal Class III malocclusion deformity is one of the most common maxillofacial malocclusions in East Asia and is either due to maxillary retrusion, mandibular protrusion, or both. It could cause functional and aesthetic problems. This deformity could be attributed to either hereditary or environmental factors or both. Tongue lymphangioma-induced skeletal class III deformity with open bite is a relatively rare condition. Therefore, its management poses a significant challenge to surgeons and requires a multidisciplinary approach. In this case report, such deformity was successfully managed through a multidisciplinary approach.
