Corresponding Author: Dr. (Brig.) Supriyo Roy Abstract: Orthognathic Surgery is used to treat mild to severe jaw deformity cases combining orthodontia and oral and maxillofacial surgery to give esthetics, function and stability. Here by we present a severely deformed case with 16 mm reverse overjet requiring bijaw surgery combining le fort I advancement and extra oral vertical ramus osteotomy of mandible for set-back. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date of Submission: 25-01-2019 Date of acceptance: 07-02-2019 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Introduction Dentofacial deformities and malocclusion are corrected by orthognathic surgery that includes orthodontic and surgical operation of facial skeleton. Correcting malocclusion helps in achieving functional efficiency, structural balance and esthetics.1 Patient with severe malocclusion has compromised physical health, masticatory dysfunction, upper airway resistance, sleep disorders, oral hygiene issues and may also have dysfunctional TMJ.2 Majority of the malocclusion cases have skeletal class III, which are corrected using maxillary advancement, mandibular set back or a combination of both in certain cases.
