    AbstractThe frequency of correctable malocclusion makes it imperative that the condition be diagnosed and referred for appropriate treatment. A complete dentofacial examination, which assesses facial symmetry and the dentition in the transverse, sagittal, and centric relations, is appropriate. Early diagnosis is imperative because malocclusion leads to long-term complications such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunctions, perodontal disease, obstructive sleep apnea, psychological disorders, and articulation errors. A combination of orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery will correct the dentoskeletal malocclusion and prevent any long-term complications. The purpose of this case report is to describe a patient with severe dentoskeletal malocclusion who benefitted from appropriate orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery.
