OBJECTIVE In order to study the simple and practical surgical treatment of maxillary protrusion. METHODS The wedge-shaped, subapical osteotomy of the maxilla and mandible was performed under local anesthesia. The procedure should not enter the nasal cavity. Some patients had preoperative or postoperative orthodontic treatment. RESULTS The operation results in 46 patients were all satisfactory in terms of facial configuration and occlusion relationship. No complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS This method is simple and less traumatic with good exposure of operative field and larger scope of movement. It is one of the ideal methods of surgical orthodontics for mild or medial maxillary and mandibular deformities.
