Abstract

Malocclusion can be often found after improper reduction of facial bone fractures, especially by the plastic surgeon or other medical doctor. This causes lots of problem in esthetics, mastication, or facial symmetry. We present four cases which are related above problems. These were well treated by orthognathic surgery or orthodontic treatment.
