We report two cases of surgical correction of facial asymmetry with surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (RPE) with Le fort I cortiotomy, prior to sagittal splitting ramus osteotomy (SSRO). Rapid palatal expansion in these cases attempted to achieve a sufficient setback range, to improve facial symmetry. Le fort I cortiocotomy was performed unilaterally on the unshifted side under general anesthesia, to reduce the physical and psychological stress of the patient. Combination of RPE and SSRO was a more effective procedure for the correction of facial asymmetry, and decrease the duration of orthodontic treatment., application/pdf}, pages = {227--237}, title = {非対称改善のため上顎片側急速拡大を行った2症例 : Le Fort I corticotomyの併用}, volume = {32}, year = {2006} }
