ORTHOSURGICAL APPROACH OF A SKELETAL CLASS II MALOCCLUSION: CASE REPORT

This article aims to present the clinical case of a young male patient who presented severe skeletal Class II malocclusion, who underwent orthosurgical treatment. This case reported the benefits that arise from treatment as well as evaluated changes in the upper airways. Data were collected through review of the medical records, study models, radiographs, cone beam tomography and intra and extra-oral photos. The proposed treatment provided desirable functional and aesthetic results, with adequate intercuspidation between dental arches, mandibular projection, resting. There was no increase in the volume and total area of the oropharynx as a result of orthognathic surgery, only an increase in the minimum axial area.
