      <Abstract>Young patients with a skeletal Class III malocclusion with a strong psychological and appearance impact may require surgical correction during their growth. This case report describes the orthosurgical treatment of a 11-year-old boy with history of bullying, presenting severe Class III skeletal malocclusion, anterior cross-bite and mandibular prognathism. He also had significant vertical and anteroposterior discrepancies and a concave profile with prominent lips. The treatment plan included extraction of the first premolars, a maxillary LeFort I osteotomy and a mandibular bilateral sagittal split osteotomy. The orthodontic treatment combined with the two-jaw surgery improved his jaws alignment, occlusal function, and the most important: his self-esteem and quality of life.</Abstract>
