Segmental osteotomy is a surgical procedure which moves alveolar bone fragments of the teeth to improve skeletal malformation and malocclusion and is divided into anterior and posterior segmental osteotomy according to the location of operation. The main goal of the treatment is the optimal correction of dentofacial aesthetics. Openbite cases and anterior teeth in ankylosed, protruded or retrused positions can be treated with anterior segmental osteotomy. With this technique, the anterior segment can be positioned forward, backward, up and down and rotated. Case: Anterior maxillary segmental osteotomy was performed on our patient who applied to us with the complaint of openbite due to ankylosing left central and lateral teeth following orthodontic treatment. Conclusion: Appropriate occlusion and aesthetic appearance were obtained with the anterior segment, which was brought to the ideal position after the surgery.}, number={1}, publisher={Uşak Üniversitesi}
