This case report describes a patient who underwent orthognathic surgery to correct vertical maxillary excess using a combination of rigid and non-rigid fixation techniques. Specifically, miniplates were used for rigid fixation on the pyriform region bilaterally, while wiring was used for non-rigid fixation on the zygomatic buttresses. This combination approach was employed to achieve stability by fixing the appropriate vertical and horizontal buttresses. The surgery resulted in correction of the patient's gummy smile, lip incompetence, and dental malocclusion. Post-operatively, normal overjet and overbite were achieved and excellent stability was obtained through the combined rigid and non-rigid fixation method.
