Abstract:

A relatively smaller number of orthodontic patients are affected by known craniofacial anomalies that affect oral and dental tissues. The greatest advantage in knowing that a patient has a particular syndrome is that it allows a much better prediction of future development that might happen in such individual and necessary precautions to be taken while management of these cases. This case report provides features of a patient with Klippel–Feil syndrome and orthosurgical management of an adult male to effectively improve patient esthetics and function.
