Distraction osteogenesis is a very useful technique for various facial asymmetries. It is commonly used to lengthen the hypoplastic maxilla and mandible. Condylar hypoplasia plays a major role in creating facial asymmetry in a growing child. In such case there will be facial asymmetry with chin deviation and occlusal cant. We report two cases of acquired unilateral condylar hypoplasia and its treatment with simultaneous distraction osteogenesis of maxilla and mandible to correct facial asymmetry and occlusal cant.
