Severe class III malocclusion can be a great challenge, especially in adult patients. This case report describes an adult patient with severe skeletal class III malocclusion and with an obvious maxillary deficiency and mandibular excess causing both anterior and posterior crossbites in addition to a shift in the upper and lower midlines to the left concerning the facial midline. This was complicated by compensatory mechanisms such as the proclination of upper incisors and retroclination of lower incisors. Decompensation of the upper and lower arches was performed combined with upper arch expansion to relieve crowding in the upper arch and correct the posterior crossbite. This was followed by double jaw surgeries, including Le Fort I osteotomy in the maxilla and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) in the mandible. Orthodontic finishing procedures were then used to correct any other dental discrepancies. Remarkable esthetic and functional results were achieved with high patient satisfaction.

The self-reported functional outcomes, clinical findings, and results of dental cast analysis before and after orthognathic surgery with surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) using a hybrid rapid maxillary expander (RME) were evaluated. Data were collected from 43 patients who underwent orthognathic surgery with SARME using a hybrid RME between 2001 and 2013. The patients were recruited during a follow-up clinical examination and were required to complete a questionnaire about their opinions and self-reported functional outcomes.Dental casts were used to analyze posttreatment palatal expansion. The mean follow-up time was 68 months (range: 25-135 months). The most common indication for SARME was the presence of a crossbite. Of the 30 patients who underwent a follow-up clinical examination (69.8% answer rate), 4 (13.3%) had symptoms of temporomandibular disorder (TMD), 1 (3.3%) experienced myalgia, and 3 (10.0%) experienced arthralgia on clinical palpation. Cast analysis revealed significant palatal expansion. The intercanine distance, intermolar distance, and palatal height were increased by 3, 5, and 2 mm, respectively. Overall, the patients were satisfied with the preoperative information, improved functions, and aesthetic results. The prevalence of TMD symptoms and other side effects following orthognathic surgery with SARME using a hybrid RME was low, and significant palatal expansions were achieved.
