In this case report, we present a surgical orthodontic treatment performed for an aged female. The patient was a 62-year-old female with chief complaints concerning occlusal disharmony, dyslalia, and aesthetic disturbance. As a result of various analysis, the patient was diagnosed with mandibular prognathism accompanied by deep bite and reversed occlusion. Due to the venerability of the patient, she presented numerous risks. The patient was treated with Le Fort I osteotomy, sagittal split ramus osteotomy and genioplasty. To acquire and to maintain a stable postoperative occlusion, close cooperation with the prothodontist was carried out. Postoperatively, the patient's chief complaints were improved and she demonstrated satisfactory progress after one year. The results of this case report indicate that treatment of a jaw deformity with surgical orthodontic procedures is effective for the improvement of occlusal disorders as well as aesthetic problems. If there are no general health problems, this treatment may be applied irrespective of the patient's age.
