    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Surgical subapical osteotomy with corticotomies and adjunctive tongue reduction can correct multiple diastemas. This combined surgical orthodontic approach addresses tongue thrust habits and limited floor of mouth space effectively.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Orthodontics
    • Surgical Orthodontics

    Background:

    • Surgical subapical osteotomy with multiple corticotomies is a technique used in orthodontics.
    • Patients with significant dental spacing may require surgical intervention.
    • Adjunctive procedures may be necessary for optimal outcomes.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with multiple diastemas requiring surgical orthodontic treatment.
    • An adjunctive tongue reduction surgery was performed concurrently with the maxillary surgery.
    • The tongue reduction was completed during the second stage, coinciding with definitive tooth repositioning.

    Findings:

    • The combined surgical approach, including subapical osteotomy, corticotomies, and tongue reduction, was successfully performed in two stages.

  • The tongue reduction was found to be inconsequential, allowing for surgical intervention with little hesitation.
  • This technique is indicated for patients with anterior maxillary and mandibular procedures, especially those with tongue thrust or limited floor of mouth space.

    • Implications:

    • Patients undergoing surgical orthodontics for anterior maxillary procedures should be evaluated for tongue size reduction.
    • Concurrent tongue reduction can be beneficial for patients with tongue thrust habits or restricted floor of mouth space.
    • This combined surgical orthodontic approach offers a viable solution for complex orthodontic cases with associated tongue issues.
