[Surgical-orthodontic aspects in the treatment of vertical excess associated with Class II].

Abstract

The authors discuss their election for the surgical-orthodontical treatment in the cases in which a vertical excess is associated with class II division 1, proposing that the surgical phase should be preceded by an orthodontical period, so that one can find during the surgical operation an oclusional harmony which makes the stability of the assembly extremely easy. The functional and stable occlusion will be obtained through an orthodontical and post-surgical period.
