Abstract:

Patients with different types of dento-maxillofacial deformities are common in the clinical practice. Thus, how to choose appropriate surgical correction methods to obtain a satisfactory outcome for these patients is an important clinical issue. To achieve, surgeons should have rich clinical experiences and excellent surgical skills. Many factors, such as, maxillofacial skeleton, teeth and occlusal relationship can lead to structural relationship disorders in patients with dento-maxillofacial deformities, thereby bringing great difficulties to the surgical treatment. Surgeons can choose different surgical procedures for patients with different types of deformities, or they can choose the same procedures for these patients. Likewise, patients with the same types of deformity can be treated by either the same surgical procedures or different procedures. The emergence of new technologies provides more surgical correction methods and expands the range of treatment for patients with dento-maxillofacial deformities. In this article, we focus on discussing the choice of surgical correction procedures for different types of dento-maxillofacial deformities and provide reference for the peers.
