Abstract

This case report highlights the possibility of a non extraction orthodontic treatment, surgically assisted, in a Class II Division 1 malocclusions in order to reduce maxillary protrusion prior to the surgical advancement of the mandible for the correction of the skeletal deficiency. The combined orthodontic-surgical approach optimizes the profile while allowing the settling of a Angle Class I occlusion at the end of the entire treatment sequence.
