Abstract: Patients with skeletal Class Ⅱ malocclusion often undergo mandibular advancement surgery.However, to reduce stress on the mandibular condyle and temporomandibular joint, it is also possible to perform maxillary orthognathic surgery alone, planned with counterclockwise autorotation of the mandible to improve the relationship between the maxillary and mandibular jaws and occlusion.We herein report a case of successful treatment outcomes by performing maxillary orthognathic surgery alone in a patient with skeletal Class Ⅱ high-angle malocclusion.
