Abstract

A series of orthognathic cases illustrates the potential service that is available to young adult and adult patients. These patients have problems that are not within the therapeutic possibilities of orthodontics alone. From a variety of viewpoints--length of time, appliance wear, iatrogenic damage, and patient concern--such procedures may well be preferred and ultimately more successful and stable than alternate conventional orthodontic therapy. Surgical procedures, in combination with orthodontics and prosthetics, have now achieved a level of sophistication that permits correction of almost any type of facial deformity quickly, with minimum pain, and relatively few unfavorable sequelae.12.13.15.
