A Case of Surgical Orthodontic Treatment of Facial Asymmetry with Vertical Disharmony

Abstract

Facial asymmetry is often associated with problems in the horizontal dimension, such as a lateral shift of the mandible, or an asymmetrical shape of the mandibular and/or maxillary bones. A vertical dimensional disproportion, such as a difference in height of the mandibular ramus or alveolar bone, is usually included.
