Abstract
The results of this study indicate that a surgical approach for CIL-F at the soft and bony levels is possible if indicated. Orthognathic surgery can be performed and good esthetic and functional results can be achieved. To minimize the risk of recurrence, it is important to perform the treatment after the onset of puberty. This harmonization at the osseous level can greatly benefit the psychological well-being of the patient.
