Abstract:
Considering the esthetic goals involved in orthognathic surgeries, one of the challenges is to define the horizontal projection of the jaws. Most of the cephalometric analyses are focused on the position of the upper incisor and upper lip. Planning the correction of a mandibular retrognathism can be simplified by clinical simulation asking the patient to project their mandible. A forced esthetic position protocol is presented as a starting point for the planning in orthognathic cases.
