Abstract
Class III malocclusion is one of the most complex to treat for healthcare because it presents alterations in skeletal and dental component of patients. Case Report: male patient, 17 years old, had a skeletal Class III malocclusion with mandibular prognathism, facial asymmetry, plus a slightly concave profile, crossbite and posterior left. By orthognathic surgery, using the technique of sagittal ramus osteotomy and segmentation maxillary, Le Fort I, malocclusion, accompanied by the Alexander technique Orthodontics is corrected. Conclusion: the correct application of knowledge in the field of Orthodontics and Maxillofacial Surgery allows patients to become skeletal class II to cephalometric analysis, changes to your profile slightly convex and canine class I is reached on both sides.
