Abstract: Patients with skeletal Class Ⅱ often have airway problems in varying degrees, such as obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). This article reports a case of an adult male patient with osseous high-angle Class Ⅱ combined with OSAHS and bilateral temporomandibular joint anterior disc displacement without reduction treated with digital multidisciplinary treatment. After treatment, the patient′s OSAHS symptoms improved significantly. His micrognathia was corrected; facial soft tissue profile was also improved, and joint symptoms were controlled. This case shows that digital-guided multidisciplinary treatment combining respiratory medicine, oral and maxillofacial surgery and orthodontics, can achieve good therapeutic effects on this kind of patients.

Key words: OSAHS, orthodontic-orthognathic surgery treatment, temporomandibular joint disorder
