Conclusion Treatment with the Carriere Motion 3D Class III Appli- ance is efficient for the correction of adult Class III mal- occlusions, producing satisfactory results both aesthet- ically and functionally. The Carriere Motion 3D Class III Appliance used in combination with Carriere SLX Self- ligating Brackets is a biomechanically efficient means of addressing cases with maxillary hypoplasia. Compared with alternatives, such as a combination of surgery and conventional orthodontics for opening space for implants or bridges, these appliances can significantly reduce treatment time for treatment of Class III patients. In cases of agenesis of the maxillary lateral incisors, the approach represented by this case is an efficient alternative for closing spaces while balancing the patent’s profile and correcting the Class III malocclusion.
