Abstract
Introduction The objective of this study was to report the
correction of a maxillary transverse discrepancy in an adult patient
using Le Fort I osteotomy procedure associated with a bone-borne
maxillary distractor device. Both the indications, advantages of the
procedure and the use protocol were highlighted. Case Presentation The
results showed that the bone-borne distractor promoted the correction of
maxillary transverse discrepancy with minimal side effects on the
maxillary posterior teeth. Conclusions The bone-borne maxillary
distractor device is a good alternative for correcting the maxillary
transverse discrepancy in patients undergoing Le Fort I surgery,
especially in cases presenting either periodontal disease or gingival
recession of maxillary posterior teeth.
