Constanza Torres Lefián; Valentina Palma Gaete; Sandra Roizen Gottlieb & Francisco Muñoz Thomson

Summary

Accelerated osteogenic periodontal orthodontics is an orthodontic-surgical technique with multiple advantages, some of which include achieving shorter treatments and allowing broader orthodontic movements than those possible with conventional orthodontics. This study presents the clinical case of a 26-year-old male patient with severe mandibular atrophy and Brodie's syndrome, along with the transverse management of compression using the accelerated osteogenic periodontal orthodontic technique.

KEY WORDS: osteogenic orthodontics, mandibular atrophy, Brodie syndrome, surgical treatment.
