The conventional orthognathic surgery protocol consists of 3 phases: pre-surgical orthodontic treatment, orthognathic surgery and post-surgical orthodontics.</p> <p><strong>Case Report: </strong>18 year old female patient with skeletal class III. She presents occasional pain, crepitation and luxation of the temporomandibular joint, laterognathia.</p> <p><strong>Treatment: </strong>Conventional orthognathic surgery of both jaws with unilateral sagittal osteotomy.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>The objectives of the treatment plan were achieved 1 year and 9 months after starting orthodontic treatment.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>With a good diagnosis and treatment planning orthodontic - maxillofacial surgery ensures excellent results, as well as bone stability and occlusal harmony post-surgery.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Revista Estomatología}, author={Orozco Jiménez, Daniela and Andrade Torres, Alejandro and Castro García, Alejandra and Roca Pereda, Raul and Casillas Santana, Miguel Angel}, year={2021}, month={Dec.} }
