Combined orthodontic and surgical correction of adult skeletal class II with hyperdivergent jaws

Abstract: A case of severe Class II skeletal malocclusion with anterior open bite having vertical growth pattern and matching soft tissue profile is presented. Considering age of the patient and the severity of the malocclusion, it was decided to combine orthodontic treatment with surgery. A 0.022 Roth Pre-adjusted Edgewise Appliance was chosen for the orthodontic correction and Le-Fort 1 differential vertical impaction of maxilla with mandibular autorotation and augmentation genioplasty was considered as the treatment … Show more

“…The p patient has reported a better self-esteem and satisfaction with the dramatic skeletal, dental, and occlusal improvement. Abraham et al (2012) [ 16 ] in a similar clinical study emphasized the importance of collaboration of orthodontist, maxillofacial surgeon, and other disciplines to determine the success of orthosurgical outcome beforehand.…”

“…The results obtained by surgical management of such cases usually ensure a better esthetic, functional stability [1]. The goal of orthognathic surgery is basically to achieve harmony between functional stability and esthetic enhancement [3,6,7] which thereby fulfils patients need. So here in this study we have evaluated result of 10 patients of skeletal class II deformity treated surgically and their outcomes we have discussed.…”

“… 2 Skeletal Class II malocclusion with a very high mandibular plane angle is one of the most complex and difficult malocclusions to treat with nonsurgical orthodontic treatment alone, because it is often caused by clockwise rotation of the mandible or excessive vertical growth in the buccal segments. 3 The fundamental and most effective treatment method for such a skeletal discrepancy, including the retrognathic mandible, is surgical relocation of the jaw bone. 4 However, several patients and their families do not readily accept such invasive surgical methods because of the possible risks and high cost.…”
