    Abstract:
    The treatment of Binder's maxillonasal dysostosis raises many problems and difficulties of both orthodontic and surgical natures. Orthodontic therapy should be conducted as early as possible and include, principally, an advancement of the maxilla by heavy extra-oral postero-anterior traction on an orthodontic mask. If good occlusion is obtained the patient can then be treated to improve the anatomical conditions of the muscles of the nose and upper lip. Maxillary, and more rarely mandibular osteotomies are indicated in cases with poor occlusion. When occlusion is reasonably good the hypoplasia has to be compensated for by using large portions of ilac bone to reconstruct the ridge and point of the nose. A preseptal graft on the ridge and secondarily, revisions of the point of the nose are often essential to ensure the best results.
