Abstract
This case report presents a successful treatment outcome of a 24-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with moderate type of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (AHI, 22.8). Cephalometric analysis demonstrates skeletal Class III jaw relation with mandibular prognathism, hyperdivergent facial pattern, Angle’s Class III malocclusion, and anterior cross-bite. Treatment intervention included orthodontic treatment combined with two-jaw orthognathic surgery and genioglossus advancement (GGA). In total treatment period of 14 months, the patient was satisfied with not only the improvement of facial profile and occlusion, but also his sleep quality.
