This report describes an orthognathic surgical case employing horseshoe Le Fort I osteotomy (HLFO) combined with mid-alveolar osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) for a patient with severe unilateral scissor bite and bimaxillary protrusion. A female patient (aged 26 years, 2 months) presented with a chief complaint of dysmasesis caused by scissor bite on the right side. The clinical examination revealed difficulty in lip closure and a convex profile. Overerupted right maxillary premolars and molars and lingual tipping of the right mandibular premolars and molars were indicated before treatment. After 3 months of presurgical orthodontic treatment, two-jaw surgery involving a combination of HLFO with mid-alveolar osteotomy and BSSRO was performed. A good interdigitation in the right side was established by superior-posterior-medial movement of the dento-alveolar segment of the maxilla. Next, both the maxilla and mandible were moved superiorly and posteriorly to correct the improper lip protrusion, thereby improving the patient's profile. Our results suggest that this new orthognathic surgery technique-achieved by combining HLFO with mid-alveolar osteotomy and BSSRO-is effective for adult patients exhibiting severe unilateral scissor bite and bimaxillary protrusion.

Article Synopsis
- A case report highlights the orthodontic treatment of a 26-year-old woman with severe scissor bite using temporary anchorage devices (TADs) and fixed braces.
- TADs were utilized to intrude extruded molars, correct dental midline, control molar inclination, and enhance overall dental relationships.
- The successful treatment not only resolved the scissor bite but also improved the patient's occlusal function and facial aesthetics, with CBCT imaging recommended for effective three-dimensional treatment planning.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to measuring the morphology and position of bilateral temporomandibular joints in patients with unilateral and bilateral molar scissor bite and simulating the deformation of the mandible during occlusion, in order to provide thesis for the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disease in patients with unilateral and bilateral molar scissor bite.
Methods: This study was a retrospective study. A total of 10 patients with unilateral molar scissor bite (the unilateral molar scissor bite group) and 10 patients with bilateral molar scissor bite (the bilateral molar scissor bite group) were selected as the experimental group, and 20 adult patients with classⅠ of angle classification of similar ages were selected as the control group.
Malocclusion Associated With Temporomandibular Joint Anterior Disc Displacement and Condylar Resorption in Adolescents: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Anterior disc displacement (ADD) is the most common type of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangement and may lead to condylar resorption (CR) during the adolescence period, but the specific malocclusion associated with ADD and CR remains unclear.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the malocclusion associated with TMJ ADD and CR in adolescents.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included a clinical examination of adolescent patients aged 11-19 years.

Objective: Early orthodontic treatment with cost reimbursement within the framework of the German statutory health insurance (GKV) is only possible for a strictly defined malocclusion group as defined by the orthodontic indication groups (KIG). It is not yet clear whether the application of the KIG criteria and corresponding successful early orthodontic interventions result in no or significantly less need for treatment in the late mixed dentition or in the permanent dentition. This study therefore investigated short-term intervention stability from a 10-year-period.

Objective The objective of this study was to measure and analyze the joint space, condylar morphology, and thickness of the roof of the glenoid fossa (RGF) in patients with unilateral second molar scissor bite using cone beam CT (CBCT). Methods A total of 80 patients were included in this study. Forty patients with a normal posterior occlusal relationship, who attended the Department of Orthodontics at the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from December 2021 to August 2023, were selected as the control group.
