Abstract
Aim:
This case demonstrates an orthodontic and surgical approach to a severe open bite malocclusion with cleft palate and neuropathy.
Methods:
Pre- and postsurgical orthodontic treatment involved a multi-bracket appliance, Le Fort I osteotomy, and sagittal split mandibular ramus osteotomy. The diagnostic background and the treatment procedures are sequentially presented.
Conclusion:
The combined orthognathic surgery and orthodontic treatment resulted in a significant correction of the occlusion.
