Orthognathic surgery restores the facial function and aesthetics affected by skeletal and dental deformities. A comprehensive preoperative evaluation, including cephalometric analysis, is essential to correcting facial skeletal imbalance and asymmetry. Operative planning must account for maxillary-to-mandibular occlusal relationship and dental compensations, as well as facial proportions in all dimensions. Virtual surgical planning has recently emerged as a way to facilitate more precise and accurate surgical planning. Operative techniques used to correct facial skeletal and dental deformities, broadly categorized as maxillary or mandibular excess or deficiency, include the LeFort I osteotomy, bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, and genioplasty.
