Summary
Pre-operative orthodontic treatment aligns dental arches, simplifying maxillofacial surgery for improved patient outcomes. This approach facilitates precise bone fragment positioning and stable fixation post-operation.
Area of Science:
- Orthodontics and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Dental and Oral Science
Context:
- Surgical correction of maxillofacial dysmorphisms
- Complex orthodontic and surgical cases
Purpose:
- To evaluate the benefits of pre-operative orthodontic treatment in maxillofacial surgery
- To describe five cases of surgical correction of maxillofacial dysmorphisms
Summary:
- Pre-operative orthodontic treatment aids in aligning dental arches before surgical correction of maxillofacial dysmorphisms.
- This approach facilitates accurate positioning of osteotomized bone fragments during surgery.
- It results in improved stability and immobilization of the maxillofacial structures post-operatively.
Impact:
- Enhanced surgical outcomes in correcting maxillofacial deformities.
- Improved functional and aesthetic results for patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery.
- Demonstrates the value of interdisciplinary orthodontic and surgical planning.
