ABSTRACT
Correction of skeletal deformities in adult patients with orthodontics is limited. Orthognathic
surgery is the best option for cases when camouflage treatment is questionable and growth
modulation is not possible. This case report illustrates the benefit of the team approach
in correcting vertical maxillary excess along with class II skeletal deformity. A cosmetic
correction was achieved by superior repositioning of maxilla with LeFort I osteotomy and
augmentation genioplasty, along with orthodontic treatment. The patient’s facial appearance
was markedly improved along with functional and stable occlusion.
Key words: Camouflage, genioplasty, orthognathic

Quick Response Code:
Today’s orthodontics not only gives
importance to esthetics and function
but also to establish harmony between
craniofacial structures.[1] Facial appearance
is an important factor in determining
social relationships and improving their
self-confidence.[2] Vertical maxillary excess
is commonly seen in orthodontics with
the gummy smile as the major problem
from patient’s perspective. The envelope
of discrepancy[3] for the maxillary and
mandibular arches in three planes of
space determines the treatment plan by
orthodontic or by orthognathic correction.
Surgical intervention to reposition the
jaws and dento alveolar segments becomes
the only option to treat patients with
severe skeletal deformity where growth
modulation is not possible and camouflage
treatment is questionable.[4] Considering
the limitations of the orthodontic
treatment for severe skeletal deformity
combined orthodontic and surgical
treatment was planned, which resulted in
a stable outcome.
CASE REPORT
The present case report is about a 20-yearold female patient who came to the

complaint of forwardly placed upper front
teeth and excessive visibility of gums in
the upper arch during smile.

excess lower anterior facial height and increased
mandibular plane angle. Dento alveolar analysis showed
proclined upper and lower anteriors. Soft-tissue analysis
indicates lip strain and protrusive lower lip [Figure 4].
Space analysis showing 10 mm of space discrepancy in
the upper arch and 13 mm in the lower arch.
Diagnosis
Angle class I malocclusion on a class II skeletal base
between orthognathic maxilla and retrognathic
mandible with vertical growth pattern and increase
lower anterior facial height, with over jet of 4 mm and
over bite of 5 mm and lower anterior crowding.
Treatment objectives
To obtain class I skeletal base, to level and align the
teeth, to obtain the ideal over jet and over bite, to
maintain class1 molar and canine relation, improvement
of soft-tissue profile.
Treatment plan
Phase I
Pre surgical orthodontics, extraction of upper
and lower 1st premolars.
Phase II
Orthognathic surgery, anterior superior
repositioning of maxilla with Lefort I
osteotomy and advancement genioplasty.
Phase III Post surgical stabilization.
Treatment progress
The case was started with pre adjusted edgewise appliance
using 0.022 slot MBT prescription. Upper and lower
premolars were extracted as planned for pre surgical
orthodontics. 0.016 initial nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) arch
wires were placed for alignment followed by 0.016 × 0.022
Ni-Ti and 0.017 × 0.025 Ni-Ti wires. Retraction was done
on 0.019 × 0.025 stainless steel (ss) wire. 0.021 × 0.025 ss
wires were placed for 2 months to achieve proper torque.
Anterior superior repositioning of 5 mm was done along
with advancement genioplasty [Figure 5]. The patient was
put on settling elastics post surgically.
Treatment results
The total treatment duration was 18 months with
10 months of pre-surgical orthodontics and 8 months of
post-surgical management. Outcome of the treatment
was a significant improvement in the patient’s smile and

maintained, ideal over jet and over bite established.proper
root parelleling and torque has been established. Upper
and lower lingual retainers were given. [Figures 7, 8 and 9].
DISCUSSION
There are certain limitations how far a tooth can be
moved and these become important when the problem
is of severe skeletal deformity.[5] The essential steps in
pre-surgical orthodontics are to align the arches and
make them compatible to establish the antero-posterior
and vertical position of the incisors. The extraction of
first premolars aided in the correction of the upper
incisor proclination and alignment and leveling the
cuve of spee in the lower arch.
forward, hinging at the temporomandibular joint, which
simultaneously shortens facial height and provides more
chin prominence. The clinical and cephalometric values
showed that there is mild mandibular deficiency. Along
with maxilla surgery, we considered the treatment
option of sliding augmentation genioplasty by preventing
extensive Bijaw surgery as auto rotation of the mandible
helps in improving her profile. The results satisfied the
primary complaint of the patient. Once satisfactory
range of motion and stability were achieved, the finishing
stage of orthodontics was done with settling elastics. The
pre-surgical and post-surgical cephalometric values and
superimpositions showed a dramatic skeletal and dental
improvement [Table 1 and Figure 10].
CONCLUSION
Superior repositioning of the maxilla was done with
LeFort I osteotomy to reduce the gummy smile.
In patients whose mandible is normal in size, the
retrognathic appearance results from downward and
backward rotation of the chin. Superior repositioning of
the maxilla allows the mandible to rotate upward and
Orthognathic surgery is a possible option in patients
with severe skeletal deformities. Treatment planning
according to the level of discrepancy ensures stability
and good outcome. The patient has reported a greater
degree of pleasure related to her appearance.
