Case report MM. Surgical-orthodontic correction of bilateral buccal crossbite (Brodie syndrome)
A surgical approach to treatment was required for this 35-year-old patient to correct a malocclusion characterized by a bilateral buccal crossbite. Surgical procedures included a LeFort 1 osteotomy to reduce maxillary width and correct the vertical asymmetry. The mandible was lengthened with a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy. Treatment options for the nongrowing patient are limited in the correction of severe skeletal disharmonies.
