Abstract
There is no universally accepted method for determining the ideal sagittal position of the maxilla in orthognathic surgery. In “Element II” of “The Six Elements of Orofacial Harmony,” Andrews used the forehead to define the goal maxillary position. The purpose of this study was to compare how well this analysis correlated with postoperative findings in patients who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery planned using other guidelines. We hypothesized that the Andrews analysis would more consistently reflect clinical outcomes than standard angular and linear measurements.
