Recently, facial bone fracture is characterized by multiple injuries, and its surgery could be delayed due to the associated morbidity and mortality. In addition, even if open reduction is performed at an appropriate time, if the fracture fragments are comminuted, reduction of the fracture to its anatomical position before trauma is difficult, and firmly fixing it is difficult. Delayed surgery and inadequate reduction are prone to malunion of the fracture and other functional problems [1-3]. The types of multiple facial bone fractures vary from Le Fort fracture to panfacial fracture. Le Fort fracture, which can cause facial disfigurement, functional impairment of mastication, malocclusion, and speech abnormalities, is a challenging case for plastic surgeons. The healing process of this type of fracture is not normal due to the contraction force of the masticatory muscles in the jaw and oral system, which may result in malocclusion. Therefore, the purpose of the treatment of Le Fort fractures is to maintain and restore both function and aesthetics. The author reports a case of Le Fort I osteotomy as a surgical correction of traumatic class III malocclusion due to Le Fort III fracture.
