Abstract:
Orthognathic surgery, which involve osteotomy and repositioning of the maxillomandibular complex, has recently emerged as a crucial method of correcting dentofacial deformities. The optimal placement of the maxillomandibular complex holds utmost significance during orthognathic surgery because it directly affects the surgical outcome. To accurately achieve the ideal position of the maxillomandibular complex, with the rapid advancements in digital surgery and 3D-printing technology, orthognathic surgery has entered an era of "Precision Surgery" from the pervious "Empirical Surgery." This article provides comprehensive insights into our extensive research and exploration of the treatment modality known as "precision orthognathic surgery" over the years. We also present the technical system and application in"Ortho+X" treatment modality to offer valuable references and assistance to our colleagues in the field.
