The present case report describes a conservative and uncommon treatment for class III malocclusion in a woman growing patient with aged eight years and four months. An unconventional treatment modality was used for the treatment of this malocclusion, reverse-pull headgear and distalisation of lower teeth using mandibular cervical headgear in the lower arch. At the end of the treatment (after 33 months), there was correction of the transversal and sagittal occlusal relationship between maxilla and mandible and correct dental intercuspation. Keywords Class III malocclusion; Open-bite; Orthodontics.

Defined as a rare type I acrocephalosyndactyly syndrome which is clinically characterized by dysmorphic facial features, craniosynostosis, and severe syndactyly of the hands and feet, Apert Syndrome represents an autosomal dominant inheritance which occurs due to the gene mutations in the receptors of the fibroblast growth factor. Oral lesions include tooth crowding, reduction in the size of the maxilla, impacted teeth, anterior open-bite, ectopic eruption, delayed eruption, thick gingiva and supernumerary teeth. The present case report describes a 58 year old female patient reported with the features of Apert’s syndrome such as dysmorphic facial features, occular anomalies, syndactyly and oral features. The case was referred to a specialized centre of clinical care for further treatment.
