Abstract

Conventional orthognathic surgery has taken a back seat nowadays, and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) has been considered to be the surgery of choice for mandibular deformity correction since its popularisation in the 1950s. The uniqueness of the technique has made it a popular choice in the correction of mandibular prognathism, retrognathism, and asymmetry. Here, we present a case of skeletal class III facial deformity treated using conventional orthognathic surgery involving pre-surgical fixed orthodontic treatment followed by bilateral sagittal split osteotomy and post-surgical orthodontic treatment.
