Osteogenesis imperfecta and combined orthodontics and orthognathic surgery: a case report on two siblings.

Published in: Journal of the Korean Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (2020)

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a heterogeneous group of connective tissue diseases that is predominantly characterized by bone fragility and skeletal deformity. Two siblings with undiagnosed type I osteogenesis imperfecta underwent orthognathic surgery for the treatment of facial asymmetry and mandibular prognathism. The authors report two cases of combined orthodontics and orthognathic surgery in patients with type I osteogenesis imperfecta, mandibular prognathism, and facial asymmetry.
