The case presents the treatment protocol and mechanics used during the fixed orthodontic treatment of a girl patient aged fourteen years with skeletal and dental Class III malocclusions and with negative overjet and severe crowding. To unravel the crowding and to compensate for the skeletal discrepancy, the first premolars were extracted, Reverse Pull Head Gear (RPHG) and Class III elastics were used and proclination of upper anteriors and retroclination of lower anteriors were done using .022 Roth brackets. The post-treatment stability is good and shows no sign of relapse even after two years.
