The aim of this article is to describe the treatment of a skeletal Class III and asymmetric patient. Two treatment alternatives were explained: -conventional orthodontics to camouflage the skeletal anomaly and -traditional orthodontics/orthognathic surgery approach; the surgical option was selected. Pre-surgical orthodontics was applied for leveling, aligning and relieving dental compensations. A Bilateral Sagital Split Osteotomy was performed for mandibular setback. Post-surgical orthodontics was applied for finishing and detailing occlusion. Total treatment time was 10 months. Facial balance was enhanced and a good dental occlusion was achieved. Careful treatment planning by the ortho-surgical team, proper application of biomechanics and good selection of dental orthodontic materials, allow the orthodontist to delay less time in the pre and post-surgical stages in the traditional surgical orthodontic approach.
