Versatile facial osteotomies

Abstract

Facial Osteotomy techniques have evolved enormously over the past 20 years providing significant and often life-changing benefits to our dental patients with skeletal malocclusions. Advancements in technology and refined surgical techniques have resulted in improvements in surgical outcomes, a reduction in post-operative complications and a quicker recovery for today's patients undergoing orthognathic surgery. This paper aims to an update on the contemporary approach to the correction of skeletal malocclusions with facial osteotomies.
