Abstract: PURPOSE:To investigate the long-term effectiveness of periodontal micro-osteotomy assisted orthodontic treatment of adult patients with malocclusion and alveolar defect. METHODS: A joint orthodontic and orthognathic consultation was performed on 3 adult patients with malocclusion and alveolar defect with an average age of 29 years. Periodontal micro-osteotomy assisted orthodontic treatment and combined orthodontic and orthognathic therapy were carried out with long-term follow-up of 2-3 years. RESULTS: Periodontal micro-osteotomy assisted orthodontic treatment and combined orthodontic and orthognathic therapy resulted in normal facial appearance and occlusal relationship without the occurrence of periodontal iatrogenic sequelae. The long-term effectives of alveolar augmentation were maintained at the surgical sites. CONCLUSIONS: Periodontal micro-osteotomy assisted orthodontic treatment was a promising technique for the treatment of adult patients with malocclusion and alveolar defect.
