| description | In addition to affecting oral functions such as temporomandibular joint function, mastication, and speech, malocclusion caused by skeletal maxillary prognathism also entails sociopsychological implications. Surgical orthodontic treatment to improve occlusion and oral function and to correct esthetic disharmony is important to improve patients’ quality of life. We report the case of a 32-year-old woman who visited our hospital with a chief complaint of proclined upper front teeth. Clinical examination revealed maxillary overgrowth and severe labial inclination of the maxillary incisors with palatal gingival recession. The incisal protrusion was corrected with a maxillary anterior alveolar osteotomy—a surgical orthodontic method that could improve the overbite without causing excessive lingual inclination, while also minimizing orthodontic movement of the maxillary anterior teeth. This treatment is generally indicated in cases of maxillary prognathism with a relatively stable occlusal relationship in the molar region. As a result of the treatment, the patient’s chief complaint improved and a long-term functional occlusion was achieved. This paper outlines the pre- and posttreatment skeletal and occlusal changes. |
