Popis: | Malocclusions in the vertical plane are more difficult to treat as compared to the malocclusions in the sagittal plane as they often require multidisciplinary (surgical) approach. Skeletal vertical deficiency and excess causes jaw discrepancies in the sagittal vector too due to rotation of the mandible, thus presenting a complex situation which requires astute treatment planning and implementation. In this article, two cases treated with combined orthodontics and orthognathic surgery to treat skeletal class II malocclusion with vertical deficiency and excess are shown and all details of treatment planning are discussed. |
