Abstract

An anatomic pattern of dentofacial deformity consistent with the diagnosis of vertical maxillary deficiency (short face syndrome, Type 2) was observed in a patient with cleidocranial dysplasia. Detailed description of diagnostic findings and the coordinated sequence of surgical-orthodontic care over a 16-month period of follow-up are presented. An 11 mm lengthening of facial height was obtained. Results of surgical and orthodontic stability are presented. A relationship between conditions with anodontia or pseudo-anodontia and vertical maxillary deficiency is hypothesized.
