La técnica convencional Le Fort I para impactaciones mayores a 5 mm en ocasiones no brinda los resultados óptimos en cuanto a competencia labial se refiere además de generar problemas respiratorios obstructivos en vía aérea debido a la disminución del espacio del piso de fosas nasales de manera excesiva.  Métodos Paciente masculino de 16 años de edad que presenta exceso vertical maxilar de 10 mm, siendo tratado con la técnica Le Fort I alveolar total o herradura en dos segmentos, como tratamiento.  Resultados Al implementar la técnica de osteotomía alveolar total maxilar se observó que es el tratamiento más apropiado, tanto en estética como en función, para los pacientes con excesos verticales mayores a 5 mm.]]></p></abstract>

The conventional Le Fort I Osteotomy used in cases of impactation is not the ideal technique for obtaining favorable results regarding lip competition besides producing breathing problems by diminishing airways capacity.  Methods A case of 16 years-old male patient is presented, who had a 10 mm maxillary vertical excess. The total alveolar Le Fort I technique or horseshoe technique in two segments was carried out, as a surgical treatment.  Results By using the total alveolar technique, it was observed it was the ideal treatment, to rehabilitate function and to Improve aesthetics, for patients with a maxillary excess superior than 5 mm.]]></p></abstract>
