[Combined orthodontic and orthognathic therapy on skeletal class II division 1 malocclusion in adults].
OBJECTIVE
To Introduce a combined orthodontic and orthognathic method for treatment of skeletal class II division 1 malocclusion in adults.


METHODS
In orthodontic-surgical treatment on skeletal class II division 1 malocclusion in adults, the goal of orthodontics was to remove the compensation of upper and lower anterior teeth, leveling Spee's curve, adjusting relationship of the upper and lower dentition arch for intercuspid bite after surgery. The goal of orthodontics before surgery was visual treatment objective (OTV), model surgery and making of bite-plate. To achieve these goals, a combined orthodontic and orthognathic method for treatment of skeletal class II division 1 malocclusion in adults was adopted in this study.


RESULTS
Stable function of stomotognathicia and satisfactory facial aesthetics after treatment were obtained.


CONCLUSIONS
Oral and maxillofacial deformity must be treated by combining orthodontic treatment and surgical osteotomy in order to restore oral function and aesthetic appearance.
