Facial asymmetry requires multidisciplinary management. In some cases, predictable problems due to congenital abnormalities can be corrected by early orthodontic treatment. Orthodontics is nevertheless often part of an orthosurgical treatment plan. The solutions are conventional and familiar: maxillomandibular rotation osteotomy and genioplasty. Many cases can be treated in this way, but there is often persistent residual asymmetry due to loss of volume that is not corrected by these techniques. The use of maxillo-acial endoprostheses designed on the basis of three-dimensional craniofacial analyses can rebalance volumes simply and with due regard to the patient's anatomy. This multistage management will be illustrated here through a complex clinical case.
