This case presents a facially mature patient with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) who presented with severe class III malocclusion. Computed tomography imaging revealed an anterior crossbite of 19â
mm and a narrow pharyngeal airway at the level of the tongue base precluding mandibular setback surgery. The patient was indicated for a LeFort III combined with a LeFort I advancement, each of 10â
mm, for a 20â
mm combined advancement. Stable, functional occlusion was achieved without airway compromise. This novel use of the combined LeFort III/I can restore stable class I occlusion in patients with BWS at risk for tongue base airway compromise.
