Abstract: The formation of skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusion is the interaction result of genetic and environmental factors, which becomes worse with growth and development. Clinically, early treatment is often carried out in order to reduce the difficulty of later treatment. Although early treatment can achieve good short-term effect, its long-term prognosis is controversial. This article reviews the etiology, early treatment efficacy, and the prediction of long-term prognosis in skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion.

Key words: skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion, etiology, early treatment, prediction
