Orthosurgical treatment of patients in the growth period: at what cost?

Abstract: Awaiting growth to end prior to starting orthosurgical treatment is sometimes extremely difficult for patients suffering from severe facial deformities. In cases of substantial skeletal disharmonies surgery may be indicated during active growth phase when the patient is psychosocially, aesthetically and/or functionally compromised. To indicate this therapy, orthodontic criteria, such as mild intramaxillary discrepancy and the possibility of preoperative preparation without major dental repositioning, must be m… Show more

“…Based on the literature, facial growth stops at the age of 15 years for women, while that in men stops at the age 17-18 years. 13 Complete maxillary and mandibular growth stops at the age above 17 years in women and 20 years of age for men. 14 Therefore, the sample age of men and women was made different so that the anatomical points used as a reference in this study are relatively constant benchmark points.…”
