AB  - BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the treatment of 
      patients developing a transverse jaw width discrepancy who exhibited class III 
      malocclusion and/or facial asymmetry by a combination of mandibular constriction 
      (MC) and intraoral vertical ramus osteotomies (IVROs). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: In a 
      retrospective study, functional results, postoperative complications, and 
      skeletal stability were analyzed for all the patients who had undergone MC and 
      IVRO, with more than 2 years of follow-up. A mandibular midline osteotomy for 
      constriction with lag screw technique and IVROs was used for MC and setback. 
      RESULTS: Sixteen patients were included in the present study. The average degree 
      of MC was 6.34 mm. Both the occlusal relationship and facial appearance in all 
      patients were significantly improved by the surgical orthodontic treatment, with 
      no harmful clinical symptoms. In addition, our original MC using lag screw 
      technique provided the most reliable results in terms of skeletal stability. 
      CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that MC using lag screw technique gives a very 
      stable mandibular width constriction, and the combination of MC and IVROs offers 
      a promising treatment alternative for patients with mandibular prognathism 
      developing a transverse jaw width discrepancy.
