title: [Long-term results of surgical-orthodontic treatment of open bite deformity by a Le-Fort-I osteotomy].
abstract: One year after the surgical correction of open bite deformity by a Le-Fort-I osteotomy, which in all cases was combined with presurgical orthodontic treatment, the stability was examined using clinical and computer assisted cephalometric methods. The results show that long term stability were obtained. The Le-Fort-I osteotomy, in combination with orthodontics, gives more stable and more predictable results when compared with results obtained after mandibular osteotomy.
