Surgical correction of a Class II skeletal malocclusion associated with anterior open bite and temporomandibular joint pain.

This case report describes the treatment of a 25-year-old woman with anterior open bite, Class II skeletal malocclusion, and a history of temporomandibular joint pain and sounds. She also had significant anteroposterior and vertical discrepancies and a convex profile with protrusive lips. Intraorally, she had an anterior open bite of 3 mm and an overjet of 5 mm. Mandibular surgical rotation, associated with mandibular incisor extraction, was performed to reduce the protrusion, close the open bite, and minimize the temporomandibular joint disorder.
