Binder syndrome (BS) is an uncommon congenital disorder affecting the face. The condition, which also goes by the names naso-maxillary hypoplasia (NMH) and maxilla-facial dysplasia (MFD), causes the central face to develop inward and may also affect the upper jaw and the nose. A 19-year-old male with a known case of BS presented with a complaint of poor esthetics since birth. Previously, the patient was admitted to a private hospital where he was operated on for cleft lip and palate in the years 2003 and 2005. In 2017, he visited the dental clinic where the orthodontic treatment started for poor esthetics, and then he was referred to the oral surgery ward for surgical intervention. For about five years, he has been undergoing orthodontic treatment. A physical examination of the oral cavity was done and the physician suggested a CT scan of the brain. Recently, the patient underwent bilateral Le Fort II osteotomy with distraction osteogenesis under general anesthesia which repaired the patient's esthetics.
