Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion using orthognathic surgery without orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted from January 2022 to June 2024 on adult patients diagnosed with facial asymmetry due to skeletal Class III malocclusion with a low occlusal plane angle (<4°), who were indicated for and underwent orthognathic surgery at JW Korea Plastic Surgery Hospital. Results: Complications: Rare, with one case of unfavorable fracture line due to poor bone splitting, which did not affect the overall surgical outcome. Postoperative occlusion: No patients were classified as poor in terms of postoperative occlusal results; none exhibited Class III canine occlusion after surgery. Patient satisfaction with postoperative aesthetics: All patients reported high satisfaction with their aesthetic outcomes. Conclusion: Treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion using orthognathic surgery without orthodontics yields favorable results in terms of function, aesthetics, and patient satisfaction.
