Learning Objectives:

• Propose the pre-surgical orthodontic preparation and post-operative orthodontic treatment in SFA for skeletal Class III patients wth facial asymmetry or transverse problem.
• Determine the decompensation of the posterior teeth, arch width discrepancy, and simulation of post-operative orthodontic treatment in SFA for skeletal Class III patients with facial asymmetry or transverse problem.
