Abstract


Establishment of a treatment plan is based on efficiency and easy application by the clinician and acceptance by the patient. Treatment of patients with Class III malocclusion (hypoplasio maxillae) might require orthognathic surgery, especially when the deformity is severe, with a significant impact on facial esthetics. We report here the case of a 16-year-old boy who had a skeletal Class III malocclusion, leading to remarkable deviation of the maxillary midline; this was his chief complaint. Treatment included rapid maxillary expansion followed by leveling, alignment, correction of compensatory tooth positioning, and orthognathic surgery to correct the skeletal Class III malocclusion because of the severe maxillary deficiency. This treatment approach allowed correction of the maxillary dental midline discrepancy to the midsagittal plane and establishment of good occlusion and optimal esthetics.

Key words: class III malocclusion, hypoplasio maxillae, orthognatic surgery
