However, when orthognatic surgery is proposed as a treatment option, there is still certain fear and rejection present in patient within our region.

Diagnosis and etiology: A 21 year old female with the fixed orthodontic appliances and with an compensated skeletal Class III malocclusion. Her chief complaint was poor facial aesthetics.
