Abstract

A technique for performing an osteotomy of the intermaxillary suture has been described. By removing the cortical bone and soft tissue that lines the intermaxillary suture between the anterior surface of the maxilla and the incisive foramen, stability of orthodontic closure of the median maxillary diastema has been achieved.
