Minimum Presurgical Orthodontic Treatment with Two Jaw Surgery Combined with Anterior Segmental Osteotmy in Skeletal Class II Malocclusion: A Case Report

Abstract

This case report describes the treatment of a 23-year-old woman who had lip protrusion with gummy smile and mentalis muscle strain. Orthognathic surgery was performed in conjunction with orthodontics. Minimum dental decompensation was performed with presurgical orthodontics followed by an anterior segmental osteotomy for the majority of dental decompensation. Counterclockwise rotation of the maxillomandibular complex was applied by LeFort I osteotomy, and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomies with anterior segmental osteotomy to achieve overall facial balance. The active treatment period was 15months. Stable occlusion and skeletal relationship were observed after a 10-month follow-up period.
