Abstract
Periodontal and dental morbidity is transient and limited to the distraction and consolidation period, as long as the tooth apices are avoided when the osteotomy is performed. A step-design osteotomy may be preferable when the central incisor apices are close to each other. The transmandibular distractor (TMD) allows for rotation at the temporomandibular joints.
