Orthognathic surgery without intermaxillary fixation offers safe jaw correction with few complications. Preliminary data indicate good segment stability, comparable to traditional fixation methods.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthodontics

Background:

  • Orthognathic surgery corrects jaw deformities.
  • Traditional methods often require intermaxillary fixation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of orthognathic surgery without intermaxillary fixation.
  • To assess postoperative complications and segment stability.

Main Methods:

  • 113 patients underwent maxillary, mandibular, or combined orthognathic procedures.
  • Intermaxillary fixation was intentionally avoided in all cases.

Main Results:

  • Procedures demonstrated safe jaw correction with minimal surgical and postoperative complications.
  • Preliminary data suggest segment stability is comparable to methods using intermaxillary fixation.

Conclusions:

  • Avoiding intermaxillary fixation in orthognathic surgery is a safe and effective approach.
  • This technique offers a favorable outcome regarding complications and stability.
