A case of maxillofacial asymmetry involving (a) asymmerty of the mandibular bone, (b) lateral inclination of the occlusal plane of the maxilla, and (c) functional displacement of the mandible. The authors performed a sagittal splitting ramus osteotomy, to correct (a) and (c) and also the extrusion of maxillary buccal segments to correct (b).
The fixation was six weeks after the surgery released, and the maxillary occlusal plane was leveled to extrude the right maxillary buccal segments.
The treatment achievements were satisfactory.
The case maintained a stable occlusion without relapse.
