Soft Tissue Prediction in Orthognathic Surgery by Making Anatomically Accurate Virtual Model

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Orthognathic Surgery

In brief

The role of orthognathic surgery in the correction of dento-skeletal dysmorphies, whether they are Class II or Class III or asymmetries, is to improve both the function and aesthetic appearance of thepatient. Both aspects are equally important to achieve optimal results. When the surgeon plans the surgery, he or she must therefore take into account the effects that bone displacements will have at the level of the soft tissues directly involved in the surgery, such as the maxilla and mandible. Traditionally, such surgery consists of an orthodontic presurgical phase1,2 .
