Abstract

Background:  Persons with mandibular deficiency and skeletal Class II malocclusions exhibit a wide spectrum of esthetic, cephalometric, and occlusal characteristics. The structure of chin determines facial attractiveness and is directly linked to a quality of life. Frequently Correction of dentoalveolar protrusion of anterior maxilla is done with anterior maxillary subapical osteotomy by which anterior segment can be moved superiorly or inferiorly and posteriorly as indicated. Augmentation genioplasty is advocated to improve the overall facial esthetics of patient with mandibular deficiency. In many such patients optimal overall results are best obtained with double jaw surgery combined with the orthodontic treatment. This is a case report of skeletal class II malocclusion with mandibular deficiency and protruded maxilla in 22 year old female patient who reported with crowded upper anterior teeth and was treated surgically by anterior maxillary subapical osteotomy and augmentation genioplasty  along with the orthodontic treatment.
