Abstract

Orthognathic surgery is performed to correct large discrepancies between the jaws and severe malocclusion, with a focus on improving facial function and aesthetics, providing a stable postoperative occlusion. A 23- year-old Caucasian female patient attended private outpatient care of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology, by dentist Andréa Juliana Luz Perdigão, diagnosed with dentofacial deformity. The clinical dental examination, based on the concepts proposed by Arnett Gunson, revealed a Class III dentofacial deformity, a Class III occlusal relationship, anteroposterior maxillary deficiency, bilateral and anterior crossbite with mandibular prognathism. Two surgical stages (disjunction and after six months, orthognathic surgery) were proposed and chosen as a treatment plan by the patient. Six months after disjunction, bimaxillary orthognathic surgery was performed, with Le Fort I type osteotomy in the maxilla and bilateral sagittal osteotomy of the mandible. The Recommended movements were 0 mm lower maxillary repositioning, 9 mm maxillary advancement; 3 mm retrusion in the mandible. The objective of the present case report, functional and aesthetic, was successfully achieved through orthognathic surgery, the patient is in skeletal and dental Class I after the procedure.
