BACKGROUND The purpose of this analysis was to evaluate the displacement patterns of the maxilla under parallel and rotational setbacks using the finite element method (FEM). MATERIAL AND METHODS A three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of a hemimaxilla was constructed. Through a conventional Le Fort I osteotomy, 2 and 3 mm of posterior movement in a parallel and rotational manner were sim...
