Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Therapy

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to expose the reader to the newest innovations in smile design, using concepts from airway-focused, fully digital, and facially generated treatment planning for the purpose of rehabilitating oral health, function, and esthetics. With today’s heightened interest in health-based decisions for our patients, we must consider the elements of each patient’s airway as a part of our personalized and comprehensive examination and treatment plan. With the ability to digitize patient anatomy in 3D, and now having a more in-depth understanding of their structure, function and behavior relative to airway, improving disharmonies or compensations through simulation technology becomes possible. Using digital design, we can produce mock-ups as well as functional testing through customized provisionals and even anticipate outcomes. Artificial intelligence technology will further enable us to gather data about long-term success and complications and truly track success for our interdisciplinary digital workflow as well as improve patient outcomes.
