Orthodontic camouflage offers a non-surgical option to improve occlusion and esthetics. Case Presentation: A 26-year-old male with a full bilateral Class III malocclusion and anterior crossbite was treated following the \u201cSagittal First\u201d philosophy. The Carriere\u00ae Motion 3D Class III appliance was used for mandibular distalization, combined with active maxillary aligners and Class III elastics. After 32 months, a stable Class I occlusion with proper overjet, overbite, and improved sagittal balance was obtained. Cephalometric analysis showed clockwise mandibular rotation and satisfactory dentoalveolar compensation. Conclusions: Combining the Carriere\u00ae Motion 3D appliance with clear aligners can successfully camouflage severe skeletal Class III malocclusions in adults, providing a predictable and esthetic non-surgical alternative.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/reports9010046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,2]],"date-time":"2026-02-02T14:12:46Z","timestamp":1770041566000},"page":"46","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Skeletal Class III Camouflage Using Carriere\u00ae Motion 3D and Clear Aligners: A Hybrid Case Report Approach"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8445-8208","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis Huanca","family":"Ghislanzoni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orthodontics, University Clinics of Dental Medicine, University of Geneva, 1211 Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claudia","family":"Lapprand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics, Alfonso X University, Villanueva de la Ca\u00f1ada, 28691 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-2021-3240","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"Mourgues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics, Rey Juan Carlos University, 28922 Alcorc\u00f3n, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Proffit, W.R., Fields, H., Larson, B., and Sarver, D.M.
