Abstract
The long face patients’ clinical characteristics are accompanied with gummy smileand/or anterior open bite. In these types ofpatients, both aesthetic and functionalreconstruction depend on a carefullyosteotomy planning.Upper lip position in relax, the relationbetween upper lip and incisors, face proportions are important criteria to decidewhether a patient has gummy smile and/oranterior open bite problems. Often verticalmaxillary excess is seen in these types ofdevelopmental malformation patients.Reducing the maxillary excess by Le Fort Iosteotomy and locating the mandible withrespect to maxilla by mandible osteotomyfor treatment provides satisfactory results.This study aims to present and discuss theaesthetic and functional results of a bimaxillary orthognathic surgical operation, conducted on a 21-year old female patient,who applied to our clinic with the complaints of aesthetic and chewing problems
