Distraction osteogenesis is a technique utilizing natural healing mechanisms to generate new bone; it is commonly used to lengthen the hypoplastic mandible. Distraction of the maxilla and mandible as a unit is an obvious extension of the technique. We describe the application of a semiburied distractor to simultaneously lengthen the mandible and maxilla and level a canted occlusal plane in three cases. The indications for bimaxillary distraction are reviewed, including its advantages, disadvantages and limitations.
牵张成骨术是一种利用自然愈合机制生成新骨的技术；它通常用于延长发育不全的下颌骨。将上颌骨和下颌骨作为一个整体进行牵张是该技术的一种明显扩展。我们描述了在三例患者中应用半埋入式牵张器同时延长下颌骨和上颌骨并矫正倾斜咬合平面的情况。本文回顾了双颌牵张的适应证，包括其优点、缺点和局限性。
