%X <strong>Background</strong>: Although orthognathic surgery generally offers a significant improvement in dentofacial stability, individual factors can influence long-term results. <strong>Aim</strong>: To illustrate, through a clinical case, the management and the progression of the treatment of the class III skeletal anomaly with maxillary origin associated with a skeletal overbite and maxillary endo alveolus. <strong>Observation</strong>: The authors report the case of a 21-year-old female patient with a severe class III malocclusion associated with a maxillary endo alveolus causing severe aesthetic and functional damage. The patient¡¯s management initially consisted of a pre-surgical orthodontic decompensation phase, followed by bimaxillary orthognathic surgery to correct the vertical and anteroposterior disharmony. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: Orthognathic surgery appears to be advantageous, both functionally and aesthetically, enabling the results obtained to be long-lasting. The agreement between the orthodontist and the surgeon before, during, and after surgery remains crucial in the management of ortho-surgical cases.
