Abstrakt: Patients requiring correction of large anterior open bites have historically been among the most challenging treatments for orthodontists. Adding to that fundamental challenge for the adult patient in this case was a sever skeletal open bite with a class III malocclusion. This case demonstrates the relationship of a severe skeletal open bite with a class III malocclusion. Considerations regarding the use of segmental maxillary osteotomy vs vertical mandibular osteotomy to raise the occlusal plane and allow for mandibular autorotation with a nose cosmetic surgery. This case illustrates the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment planning. A team approach between the orthodontist and the surgeon, all having input before the initiation of treatment is the best way to achieve stable, functional, and esthetic results.
