Abstract　： [Abstract] In the early period of mixed dentition, various malocclusions may potentially occur that can manifest themselves clinically. Preventive and interceptive treatment must be given priority in order to avoid the risk of developing a skeletal malocclusion in the future. During the development of the dentition, a deficiency in the vertical dimension of occlusion may result in a Class III malocclusion with a closed mandibular rotation as a sign of the vertical decompensation. The correction of the occlusal vertical dimension with the use of simple treatment procedures such as supra-occlusal surfaces normalizes the occlusion during the later development as well as possible. This article describes an early treatment of the Class III malocclusion caused by decompensation, where the vertical dimension was raised by using supraocclusal surfaces. Due to bite raising, the mandible adapts to a posterior position and the dentition continues to erupt into a Class I relationship. The correction of the occlusal vertical dimension can reorient the developmental direction abnormal tendency from the early mixed dentition period.
