ANTERIOR MAXILLARY EXCESS CORRECTION WITH ANTERIOR SEGMENTAL MAXILLARY OSTEOTOMY (ASMO): A CASE REPORT

Abstract

This case report presents the successful correction of anterior maxillary excess in a patient using Anterior Segmental Maxillary Osteotomy (ASMO). Anterior maxillary excess can lead to various aesthetic and functional issues, including malocclusion and facial asymmetry. ASMO is a surgical technique designed to reposition the anterior maxillary segment, addressing both skeletal and dental discrepancies. The case involved a [age]-year-old patient with anterior maxillary excess and Class II malocclusion. The surgical procedure involved the repositioning of the anterior maxilla, followed by orthodontic treatment for final occlusal and aesthetic refinement. The post-operative outcomes demonstrated significant improvement in facial aesthetics, occlusion, and patient satisfaction. This case report highlights the effectiveness of ASMO in correcting anterior maxillary excess and its positive impact on both function and aesthetics.
