Abstract　： [Abstract] In orthodontics, occlusal reconstruction should be one of the ultimate goals in the achieve ment of both aesthetically satisfactory and functionally effective treatment. The establishment of a proper vertical dimension of occlusion through occlusal plane control will provide a balance for the maxillofacial complex. A skeletal Class III low angle malocclusion case in early permanent dentition accompanied by an anterior cross bite, decreased vertical dimension and mandibular midline deviation to the right is presented and a report given on a treatment plan accomplished by extracting the upper second molars to facilitate the reconstruction of the occlusal plane by uprighting the mandibular posterior teeth with the concomitant use of MEAWs (Multiloop Edgewise Arch Wire). [Introduction] The basic objective of orthodontic treatment is to restore the harmony of the maxillofacial skeleton through the control of occlusion with appropriate vertical dimension. In other words, the restoration of the harmony of the maxillofacial complex through occlusal treatment is the responsibility of every orthodontist in daily practice.
