Changing skeletal pattern by means of osteogenesis distraction: a new therapeutic approach to patients with dysmorphism.

Abstract
The correction of class II high-angle open-bite in patients is difficult to achieve by traditional and conventional techniques in occlusal stability and function. The authors propose a new approach to a patient with dysmorphism (class II, short ramus, and open bite) using distraction osteogenesis to change the skeletal pattern of patients with high-angle class II to low-angle class III before undergoing traditional orthognathic surgery. This new approach is based on osteogenesis distraction, emphasizing planning and surgical procedures.
