Abstract
method for treating mandibular prognathism, distraction osteogenesis (DO) of the maxillary complex is an alternative approach.
Methodology: The clinical and radiological examinations of a 29-year-old male revealed maxillary retrognathism and mandibular prognathism without a vertical abnormality. The patient was treated with maxillary advancement by DO and mandibular setback surgery. Results: Long-term functional muscle exercises were scheduled. No relapse has occurred.
Conclusions: We believe that the patient’s cooperation and commitment to the functional exercise program played the most important role in the long-term success.
