Abstract
Some young patients with a significant skeletal shift with a strong morpho-aesthetic and psychological impact may require surgical correction during their growth. A good understanding of facial growth, the different treatment options and the effects of surgery on the post-operative growth pattern will allow the practitioner to use the technique most suited to each of his patients and improve long-term treatment outcomes. So-called «interceptive» surgery may therefore be considered in cases of severe skeletal dysmorphism of secondary or functional origin. It will lead to early normalization with the immediate consequence of breaking the «dysmorpho-dysfunctional » spiral.
