Couverture / Jaquette

Used in the right conditions, SFOA is highly successful and has a positive impact on the patients psychosocial status. A combined orthodontic and orthognathic surgery approach is accepted as the standard of care for patients who have a severe skeletal jaw discrepancy with facial asymmetry. But some disadvantages have been recognized. One drawback is the long presurgical treatment time that typically worsens facial appearance and exacerbates the malocclusion. In some countries, these disadvantages have caused patients to seek plastic surgeons who are willing to perform orthognathic surgeries without collaboration with orthodontists or consideration for the final occlusion.
