Abstract
Repositioning of the anterior dento-osseous segment posteriorly is carried out with the Anterior Maxillary Osteotomy (AMO) procedure. Maxillary excess can be corrected by a combined orthodontic and orthognathic approach. Anterior Maxillary Osteotomy has been performed since its inception in 1921 by Cohn Stock wherein, elastic force was used to retract the anterior maxillary segment. Wassmund, Wunderer and Cupar proposed modifications for AMO. This article gives an insight of a case treated by anterior maxillary osteotomy along with fixed orthodontic treatment for correction of maxillary anterior excess.
