Orthodontic-orthognathic interventions in orthognathic surgical cases: "Paper surgery" and "model surgery" concepts in surgical orthodontics

Orthodontic Contribution to Orthognathic Surgery Cases

Virtual Surgical Planning in Orthognathic Surgery

Computer-aided surgical simulation has greatly enhanced the efficiency and accuracy of orthognathic surgery for correction of dentofacial deformities. Virtual surgical planning (VSP) improves the efficiency of the presurgical work-up and provides an opportunity to illustrate the multidimensional correction at the dental and skeletal level. VSP provides preoperative insight into the surgical int...

Orthodontic Preparation for Orthognathic Surgery

Non-Surgical Orthodontic Treatment of an Orthognathic Surgical Case

Treatment planning decisions that involve surgical intervention to realign the maxilla and mandible or to reposition dentoalveolar segments in cases of severe malocclusion associated with maxillary retrusion or deficiency and mandibular prognathism are based on the degree of discrepancy and performance limits of conventional orthodontic systems [1]. Clinical presentation of these skeletal and d...

Orthognathic cases: what are the surgical costs?

This multicentre, retrospective, study assessed the cost, and factors influencing the cost, of combined orthodontic and surgical treatment for dentofacial deformity. The sample, from a single region in England, comprised 352 subjects treated in 11 hospital orthodontic units who underwent orthognathic surgery between 1 January 1995 and 31 March 2000. Statistical analysis of the data was undertak...
