Abstract

This paper presents 2 clinical cases of facial asymmetry resulted from vertical asymmetry of the maxilla and unilateral hyperplasia of the mandibular condyle. Both patients, a 27 year 4 month old female and a 17 year 1 month old male, had a anterior crossbite with deviated dental midline and a concave profile. Both cases were treated with orthodontic and orthognathic procedure. The following results were obtained; 1. The facial asymmetry was favorably corrected. 2. The concave profile was improved. 3. The anterior crossbite was corrected. 4. The upper and lower dental midlines against the facial midline were corrected. 5. The functional overbite and overjet were established.
