Abstract:
A 24-year-old Afro-Caribbean with a pronounced anterior open bite and bimaxillary protrusion was successfully treated to a stable result with a partial glossectomy and fixed appliance therapy. Although transient sialorrhea and paraesthesia were experienced post-operatively, speech and function showed some improvement 2 years after treatment.
