Introduction: The treatment established as the gold standard for skeletal deformities of the craniofacial complex is orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic surgery, to achieve occlusal stability, facial harmony, improved mastication, phonation and breathing. The conventional orthognathic surgery protocol consists of 3 phases: pre-surgical orthodontic treatment, orthognathic surgery and post-surgical orthodontics. Case Report: 18 year old female patient with skeletal class III. She presents occasional pain, crepitation and luxation of the temporomandibular joint, laterognathia. Treatment: Conventional orthognathic surgery of both jaws with unilateral sagittal osteotomy. Results: The objectives of the treatment plan were achieved 1 year and 9 months after starting orthodontic treatment. Conclusion: With a good diagnosis and treatment planning orthodontic - maxillofacial surgery ensures excellent results, as well as bone stability and occlusal harmony post-surgery.

Keberadaan kista dapat menghambat perawatan ortodontik konvensional yang diberikan pada pasien. Tujuan artikel ini adalah menyajikan laporan kasus perawatan ortodontik alternatif seorang pasien perempuan berusia 17 tahun dengan kondisi gigi atas berjejal berat dan kista jinak di antara gigi insisivus lateral dan kaninus kiri atas. Setelah menetapkan diagnosis ortodontik, perawatan pertama yang dilakukan adalah pengangkatan kista. Kista dikirim untuk biopsi dan didiagnosis sebagai kista jinak. Orang tua dan pasien memutuskan untuk mencabut gigi insisivus lateral atas setelah mengetahui bahwa gigi insisivus lateral kiri atas nekrosis. Setelah gigi dicabut, bracket ortodontik dipasang di gigi bawah pasien. Tiga bulan kemudian, bracket ortodontik dipasang di gigi atas pasien. Kondisi gigi atas yang berjejal terkoreksi dan kaninus atas menggantikan posisi insisivus lateral. Saat ini, perawatan aktif masih dilanjutkan dan terpasang bracket ortodontik dengan elastik kelas III pada pasien. Kesimpulan artikel ini adalah pendekatan perawatan ortodontik inkonvensional dapat menjadi pertimbangan ketika ditemukan hambatan seperti adanya kista. Pasien dan orang tua harus diberi informasi mengenai konsekuensi perawatan sebelum perawatan dimulai.Unconventional Orthodontic Treatment for Upper Teeth Crowding with Benign Cyst. The presence of a cyst can provide an obstacle to the conventional orthodontic treatment given to the patients. The purpose of this article is to describe a case report of a seventeen year-old girl with a severe crowding of maxilla and presence of benign cyst between lateral incisor teeth and upper left canine treated with an alternative orthodontic treatment plan. After orthodontic diagnosis, the first treatment to be conducted was the removal of the cyst. The cyst was sent for biopsy and diagnosed as non-malignant cyst. The patient and her parents decided to extract upper laterals incisor tooth after knowing that the upper left lateral incisor tooth was necrotic. After the extractions, orthodontic brackets were bonded on the mandible. Then three months later the maxilla was bonded. The upper crowding of teeth condition was resolved very promptly and the upper canines were used to replace the laterals incisor position. Currently, active treatment is still in progress, and the patient has full upper and lower orthodontic brackets with class III elastics. After the treatment so far, it can be concluded that unconventional orthodontic treatment is worth considering when an obstacle such as a cyst is present. Patients and parents must be informed about the consequences of the treatment before active treatment is started.

INTRODUCTION: This case report describes the orthodontic treatment of an adult patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion and anterior crossbite. A short cranial base led to difficulties in establishing a cephalometric diagnosis. The patient's main complaint comprised esthetics of his smile and difficulties in mastication. METHODS: The patient did not have the maxillary first premolars and refused orthognathic surgery. Therefore, the treatment chosen was orthodontic camouflage and extraction of mandibular first premolars. For maxillary retraction, the vertical dimension was temporarily increased to avoid obstacles to orthodontic movement. RESULTS: At the end of the treatment, ideal overjet and overbite were achieved. CONCLUSION: Examination eight years after orthodontic treatment revealed adequate clinical stability. This case report was submitted to the Brazilian Board of Orthodontics and Facial Orthopedics (BBO) as part of the requirements to become a BBO diplomate.

The need for extractions in orthodontic treatment has always been a controversial topic. However, to date there is not a specific clinical guideline that can help the clinicians deciding to plan an extractive or a non-extractive orthodontic treatment. In this respect, clinicians must deal with patients’ occlusal, functional, periodontal and aesthetics characteristics before planning an orthodontic treatment including extraction. Considering the absence of specific guidelines, the choice to extract teeth or not is complicated, particularly in borderline cases. In this case report, we present a borderline case of a patient with the skeletal Class III pattern and significant crowding in both arches that could be treated with or without extraction, illustrating the diagnostic and decision-making processes that were conducted for the orthodontic treatment strategy.

Introduction: This case report describes the treatment of a 21-year-old man who presented in an orthodontic office for treatment but lived in a city 100 miles away and wanted the orthognathic surgery in another state in America. The patient presented with an anterior open bite and skeletal Class III relationship. Methods: The treatment plan included: (1) effective and careful communication of the treatment plan with the patient, orthodontist and oral and maxillofacial surgeon; (2) pre-surgical alignment and levelling of the teeth in both arches with Invisalign; (3) a long-distance communication between the orthodontist and the surgeon for surgical plan with virtual surgical planning (VSP Orthognathics; 3D Systems, www.3Dsystem.com ) online; (4) maxillary advancement (LeFort I osteotomy) with mandibular set-back (bilateral sagittal split osteotomy); (5) postsurgical correction of the malocclusion with clear brackets and aligners; and (6) retention and final small tooth movement adjustments with aligners/clear retainers. Results: The anterior open bite was treated, crowding was eliminated in the upper and lower anterior segment, correction of skeletal and dental Class III malocclusion was obtained, mandibular plane angle was reduced and facial profile improved. Conclusions: The results suggest that aesthetic and functional results can be achieved with long-distance communication of two specialties and with the combined use of clear aligners and clear fixed appliances.
