Abstract
It has been estimated that 1.2 million patients in the United States1 could benefit from surgical orthodontics. It is important therefore that a patient with this potential problem should have a standard careful and complete examination. Orthognathic surgery is no longer a “one-off” surgical procedure, but routine oral and maxillofacial surgery in which patients reasonably expect a safe predictable outcome.
