Abstract :
Dentofacial orthopedists serve as guardians of
facial development, capable of influencing the
differential growth of craniofacial structures through
growth modulation techniques, guiding them towards
favorable outcomes. In cases where facial growth is
complete in adult patients presenting with significant
skeletal discrepancies, surgical repositioning of the jaws
becomes the primary solution, a realm addressed by
surgical orthodontics. The 'envelope of discrepancy'
visually encapsulates current concepts regarding the
extent of change achievable through different treatment
modalities. Maxillomandibular surgeries encompass
various procedures aimed at addressing these issues.
Diagnosis and treatment planning are pivotal in surgical
orthodontics, with cephalometric prediction tracing and
mock surgery playing crucial roles in preoperative
planning.
