Abstract
The aim of this article was to relate the clinical case of an HIV-positive orthodontic patient who reported that her cheeks had been hurting since treatment began. We started with the data collected in anamnesis and by contact with the patient's physician, and a diagnosis of facial lipodystrophy as a result of the use of retroviral drugs was reached. The patient was referred to a dermatologist for treatment of the facial lipodystrophy.
