Introdução: A maloclusão Classe III possui etiologia multifatorial, resultante da interação entre fatores inatos, genéticos e ambientais. Caracteriza-se geralmente por perfil facial côncavo, mordida cruzada anterior, aumento do comprimento mandibular efetivo e, em casos combinados, por deficiência do terço médio facial associada à retrusão maxilar. Objetivo: Este relato de caso visa revisar os fundamentos biológicos e as características da maloclusão Classe III na dentição mista, bem como seu manejo ortopédico-funcional precoce. Relato de caso: Apresenta-se o caso de uma menina de 8 anos com mordida cruzada anterior e maloclusão esquelética Classe III, tratada com ativador elástico aberto de Klammt Classe III. O tratamento resultou na correção da mordida cruzada anterior e na melhora favorável do perfil facial. Conclusão: O ativador elástico aberto de Klammt Classe III promove mudanças favoráveis na correção da mordida cruzada anterior, melhora o perfil facial e postural, e contribui para redirecionar o crescimento maxilar e mandibular durante a dentição mista.
