Careful diagnosis identified the need for corrections in the vertical, transverse and antero-posterior directions. The new possibility of minimally invasive surgery and miniaturized appliances to create tissues according to the planned vector permits the orthodontist obtain ideal bony bases to perform sound biomechanics to predictably situate the teeth in the optimal position and establish perfectly detailed occlusions.
Distraction histogenesis is a simple and predictable technique that could be used in everyday orthodontics to improve the maxillo-mandibular deficiencies. The final indications and protocols are well document in the literature; the variables and outcomes will be described in detail.
