“…In addition, patients with rheumatoid arthritis usually have involvement of some joints, especially those of the hands, feet and knees [3]. Thus, the patient in this case was accompanied by an interdisciplinary team, and throughout the treatment, no involvement of the temporomandibular joint was identified, which was a concern, given the length of time he had been wearing orthodontic braces, and also due to the risks of him undergoing a surgical procedure, even though the technique of choice was not very invasive when compared to other orthognathic techniques [4,5,6].…”

In the present case report, a 24-year-old male underwent a combined surgical and orthodontic treatment to enhance facial aesthetics. The treatment consisted of the use of an Edgewise fixed appliance (0.022 x 0.028-in), and was complemented by a mini Wing osteotomy. The results of the treatment improved facial contours, defining and elongating the submental area, and eliminating the adipose tissue. Orthodontically, the preservation of the canines and molars Class I relationship, and the maintenance of the compensatory projection of the lower incisors were observed. Satisfactory overbite and overjet were achieved, along with a levelled curve of Spee. The combined treatment modalities led to the achievement of functional occlusion and facial aesthetics.
