2.1. Case #1

A healthy patient (39 year 9 month old) presented with a chief complaint of "I am not happy with my smile, arrangement of my teeth, and prominent chin." Cursory examination revealed that the patient has skeletal and dental class III malocclusion with reverse overjet, narrow maxilla, long face, concave profile, and gummy smile. The case was complicated by old extraction of lower left first molar. Thorough clinical examination and diagnostic data collected assured limitation of orthodontic treatment alone to achieve treatment objectives and therefore, combined orthosurgical correction was suggested and the patient agreed after detailed discussion and joint meeting with the clinicians.
