Abstract

Summary

Facial
asymmetry can be caused by different etiological causes. The lower face can be
affected by face asymmetry more than the upper face. In adult cases where
facial asymmetry is unacceptable in terms of aesthetic appearance, treatment is
often a combination of orthodontic and orthognatic surgery. In order to achieve
patient satisfaction, patient expectations should be known. In this case
report, a 20-year-old female patient with a complaint of facial asymmetry is
presented with a treatment in combination of orthodontic and orthognathic
surgery. Combination therapy was performed in 3 phases as pre-surgical
orthodontic treatment, orthognathic surgery, and post-surgical orthodontic
treatment. The treatment was performed with a combination of fixed orthodontic
treatment and lower jaw surgery. The planned outcomes were successfully
achieved, and the function and facial aesthetics were improved.

Fasiyal Asimetrinin Ortodontik-Cerrahi Tedavisi: Vaka Raporu

Abstract

Fasiyal asimetri farklı etyolojik sebeplerden
kaynaklanabilir. Yüz asimetrisi üst yüze nazaran alt yüzü daha fazla etkiler.
Fasiyal asimetrinin estetik görünüm açısından kabul edilemez olduğu erişkin
vakalarda tedavi sıklıkla ortodontik ve ortognatik cerrahi tedavi kombinasyonu
ile yapılır. Hasta memnuniyeti sağlamak için tedavi sonrası elde edilecek sonuç
ile hasta beklentisinin örtüştüğünden emin olunmalıdır. Bu vaka raporunda, 20
yaşında fasiyal asimetri şikâyeti ile kliniğimize başvuran bayan hastanın
ortodonti ve ortognatik cerrahi kombinasyonu ile tedavisi sunulmaktadır.
Kombinasyon tedavisi, cerrahi öncesi ortodontik tedavi, ortognatik cerrahi ve
cerrahi sonrası ortodontik bitirme olarak 3 fazda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tedavi,
sabit ortodontik tedavi ve tek çeneyi içine alan ortognatik cerrahi
kombinasyonu ile yapılmıştır. Tedavi başında planlanan sonuçlara başarıyla
ulaşılmış, vakaya hedeflenen fonksiyon ve yüz estetiği kazandırılmıştır.
