Resumo
In the present case report, a 24-year-old male underwent a combined surgical and orthodontic treatment to enhance facial aesthetics. The treatment consisted of the use of an Edgewise fixed appliance (0.022 x 0.028-in), and was complemented by a mini Wing osteotomy. The results of the treatment improved facial contours, defining and elongating the submental area, and eliminating the adipose tissue. Orthodontically, the preservation of the canines and molars Class I relationship, and the maintenance of the compensatory projection of the lower incisors were observed. Satisfactory overbite and overjet were achieved, along with a levelled curve of Spee. The combined treatment modalities led to the achievement of functional occlusion and facial aesthetics.
