Abstract EN
The aim of the present case report is to describe the orthodontic-surgical treatment of a 17-year-and-9-month-old female patient with a Class III malocclusion, poor facial esthetics, and mandibular and chin protrusion.
She had significant anteroposterior and transverse discrepancies, a concave profile, and strained lip closure.
Intraorally, she had a negative overjet of 5 mm and an overbite of 5 mm.
The treatment objectives were to correct the malocclusion, and facial esthetic and also return the correct function.
The surgical procedures included a Le Fort I osteotomy for expansion, advancement, impaction, and rotation of the maxilla to correct the occlusal plane inclination.
There was 2 mm of impaction of the anterior portion of the maxilla and 5 mm of extrusion in the posterior region.
A bilateral sagittal split osteotomy was performed in order to allow counterclockwise rotation of the mandible and anterior projection of the chin, accompanying the maxillary occlusal plane.
Rigid internal fixation was used without any intermaxillary fixation.
It was concluded that these procedures were very effective in producing a pleasing facial esthetic result, showing stability 7 years posttreatment.
