Abstract

Malposition teeth or obvious jaw deformities; are conditions that require orthodontics for orthodontic correction but a combined approach with surgery. Severe deformities that require a combination of orthodontics and surgery for correction are called dentofacial deformities. Surgery to straighten the jaws or relocate dentoalveolar segments is the sole option for patients whose orthodontic problems are so severe that neither growth modification nor concealment can help. Surgical treatment is not a substitute for orthodontics in these patients. Coordinated with orthodontics, other dental treatments and surgery are necessary, to achieve good overall results. Significant advancements in the past several years have allowed for the correction of many serious issues that were untreatable just a few years ago with combination treatment.
