Abstract

This case report, aims to present a combined orthodontic and surgical approach in the treatment of an adult male patient with skeletal class III malocclusion with an Hapsburg jaw. The malocclusion was decompensated by pre-surgical orthodontic treatment and then normal jaw relationship was achieved by Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy Setback followed by debonding after 4 months. The treatment lasted for over 14months, it improved facial esthetics and profile of the patient significantly and resulted in a normal occlusion, overjet, and overbite and a pleasant smile.
