Orthognathic surgery
(ref:-Semin Orthod 1998;4:153-164.)
Orthognathic surgery
• Factor:-
• patient’s self awareness of the esthetic problem
• severity of the OC
• jaw discrepancy in sagittal and vertical directions
• Leveling of the OP is generally required before surgery.
• single or double jaw surgery-in patients with dramatic OC
• to correct
• facial and maxillary midline deviation,
• level the oral commissure,
• obtain symmetric display of the canine teeth, and
• correct chin deviation according to the normal facial midline.
• A combination of Le Fort I osteotomy and
mandibular bilateral sagittal split osteotomy or
internal vertical ramus osteotomy
• The selection of the side for vertical movement
depends on
• maxillary incisor display,
• OP angle in the sagittal direction, and
• anterior vertical facial height.
• maxillary vertical elongation.
• hemifacial microsomia,
• craniofacial asymmetry, and
• cleft lip and palate,
• soft tissue defects and
• decreased vertical height
orthodontic therapy

Skeletal anchorage
• occipital headgear
• removable appliances with elastics (McNamara,1977;
Altuna & woodside,1985)
• modified palatal appliances
• elastomeric chain
• magnets
• miniscrews and miniplates
• corticotomy-enhanced intrusion
Management of occlusal canting with
miniscrews
Angle Orthod, Vol 84, No 4, 2014
A combination of orthognathic surgery and
orthodontic therapy
• skeletal anchorage (miniscrews or miniplates) in the
maxilla and orthognathic surgery in the mandible
• sagittal split ramus osteotomy and genioplasty and/or
intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy
• Since Kole suggested clinical applications of corticotomy in
1959, various technical advancements have been reported.
• One is orthopedic force application against intraosseous
anchorage after corticotomy.
• A heavier force is applied than the orthodontic force because
the aim of this technique is not tooth movement through the
bone but rather bony block movement by compression
osteogenesis.
• If the cortical layer of the basal and alveolar bone is removed,
medullary bone can be bent by traction force.
(ref:-Ahn HW et al; Correction of facial asymmetry and maxillary canting with corticotomy and 1-jaw orthognathic
Surgery;Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2014;146:795-805)
CONCLUSION
• Occlusal plane canting in the vertical plane is one of the
parameters affecting smile esthetics and originates from
facial asymmetry and/or vertical position asymmetry of
the right and/or left quadrants of the dental arches
without facial asymmetry.
• To obtain satisfactory treatment results in individuals with
OC, the etiologic factors of OC should be examined, the
classification of OC should be considered, and the
benefits of alternative treatment choices should be
discussed.
