Orthognathic surgery is the generic name of a dental surgical procedure aiming to restore a normal facial pattern in adult patients with inadequate facial bone development. Treatment with orthognathic surgery is a procedure that always involves the association of a orthodontic treatment with a surgery to provide esthetic and functional improvements in the face of patients undergoing this treatment.
See case 2 for orthognathic surgery performed in a patient with pronounced chin and mandible longer than maxilla.
