Skeletal malocclusion is a collection of human craniofacial morphologic traits that either exceed or lack volume and proportion, resulting in an inappropriate relationship between the jaws and the temporomandibular joints. The cumulative impact of aberrant growth and development of the different skeletal units of the craniofacial complex on their functionality and outward appearance. Disorders characterized by sagittal disparity between the maxilla and the mandible are known as skeletal class II and III malocclusions. Sagittal disparities are not a separate entity; they are frequently accompanied with several major skeletal, dental, and functional abnormalities. When treating these malocclusions, one must clearly grasp the many components involved and how they correlate with the sagittal dimension.
