15-year old girl presented with long-face syndrome characterized by
vertical maxillary excess, mandibular retrognathism, and a retrusive
chin. The patient underwent a combined orthodontic (two bicuspid extractions)
and surgical approach including a Le Fort I osteotomy (vertical intrusion
and horizontal advancement with counterclockwise rotation), bilateral
sagittal split osteotomies of the mandible (horizontal advancement),
and an osteoplastic genioplasty (horizontal advancement and vertical
intrusion). Stabilization was accomplished with miniplates and screws.
