Combined multisegmental surgical-orthodontic treatment of bialveolar protrusion and chin retrusion with severe facial asymmetry

LeFort I osteotomy, anterior segmental osteotomy, bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy, and genioplasty are frequently used methods for correcting facial deformities. However, in patients with an abnormally shaped maxilla or mandible, more complex surgical techniques or multiple combinations must be considered for improved esthetic results. This article presents a patient with bialveolar protrusion, mandibular prognathism, chin retrusion, a long face, and severe facial asymmetry. A combination of LeFort I asymmetric impaction, anterior segmental osteotomy, and 3-piece segmentation of the maxilla, and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy, anterior segmental osteotomy, genioplasty advancement, and angle shaving in the mandible were conducted simultaneously. In patients with complicated deformities that cannot be classified by simple conventional classification methods, multisegmental osteotomy can be an option for improved esthetic results.
