Overview

Orthognathic jaw surgery is a corrective procedure that repositions the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both to address skeletal discrepancies that cannot be resolved through orthodontics alone. Research published in Dentistry And Oral Implants examines the interdisciplinary coordination required for successful outcomes, particularly in managing Class III malocclusions in adult patients where combined orthodontic and surgical approaches are necessary. The journal's articles address treatment planning for skeletal Class II malocclusions complicated by maxillary constriction, demonstrating comprehensive approaches that integrate multiple therapeutic modalities. Several studies explore alternative or adjunctive techniques using orthodontic mini-implants for conditions such as anterior open bite, including digital planning methods for mini-implant supported palatal expansion. The research also investigates diagnostic considerations, including cephalometric evaluation of anteroposterior parameters in patients presenting with facial asymmetries, which informs surgical treatment decisions. This body of work reflects the complexity of orthognathic cases, where precise diagnosis, careful treatment sequencing, and collaboration between orthodontists and surgeons are essential for correcting functional impairments and achieving stable, predictable results in patients with significant dentofacial deformities.
