Malocclusion after primary treatment of maxillofacial trauma is not frequently reported in the literature. Despite many developments in the treatment of facial fractures, the most common hard tissue complications after maxillofacial trauma are temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, followed by infections and malocclusions. (1,2) When rigid metallic plates and screws became available, the requirements for accuracy in surgery increased, as even a mild discrepancy in alignment of bony fragments and osteosynthesis can have a severe effect in occlusion. As with all surgery, the rate of complications decreases with the greater experience of the operating surgeon(3).
