A-C Photographs, intraoral view and lateral cephalometric radiograph before treatment. D-F Photographs, intraoral view and lateral cephalometric radiograph after the consolidation period. G-I Photographs, intraoral view and lateral cephalometric radiograph after preoperative orthodontic treatment. MASDO was applied and the osteotomy line was drawn on the palate between the first molar and first premolar on the right side and canine and first molar on the left side. Two mini-screws were inserted in the planned position. The premaxilla moved forward and the facial profile was improved after MASDO. No. 25 was extracted during the orthodontic treatment and the remaining dental crowding was alleviated using the space produced by the MASDO procedure
