“…However, it was estimated that about 5% of the UK or USA population present with DFD that had needed orthognathic surgery as a part of their definitive treatment [2, 3]. Among the DFD, the most prevalent was Class III malocclusion [1], who had been shown in similar studies by findings of several samples in Brazil [4], Saudi Arabia [5], Hong Kong [6], UK [6, 7], Norway [8], and the USA [9].…”

Dentofacial deformities (DFD) presenting mainly as Class III malocclusions that require orthognathic surgery as a part of definitive treatment. Class III patients can have obvious signs such as increasing the chin projection and chin throat length, nasolabial folds, reverse overjet, and lack of upper lip support. However, Class III patients can present different facial patterns depending on the angulation of occlusal plane (OP), and only bite correction does not always lead to the improvement of the facial esthetic. We described two Class III patients with different clinical features and inclination of OP and had undergone different treatment planning based on 6 clinical features: (I) facial type; (II) upper incisor display at rest; (III) dental and gingival display on smile; (IV) soft tissue support; (V) chin projection; and (VI) lower lip projection. These patients were submitted to orthognathic surgery with different treatment plannings: a clockwise rotation and counterclockwise rotation of OP according to their facial features. The clinical features and OP inclination helped to define treatment planning by clockwise and counterclockwise rotations of the maxillomandibular complex, and two patients undergone to bimaxillary orthognathic surgery showed harmonic outcomes and stables after 2 years of follow-up.

“…The exact prevalence of significant dentofacial deformities that requires orthognathic surgery as a part of definitive treatment is not quite clear. [ 1 ] However, looking at the information collected about the severe and extreme forms of malocclusions (overjet> 7mm, reverse overjet> 3 mm, openbite > 3 mm) it can be estimated that about 5% of the UK or USA population present with dentofacial deformities that need orthognathic surgery as a part of their definitive treatment. [ 1 2 ] The estimated prevalence associated with a degree of underestimation because of the compensated malocclusions in patients with dentofacial deformities.…”

“…After the skeletal maturation is completed, following orthodontic treatment surgical procedures may be needed to restore neutral occlusion and appropriate anatomic architecture. The most employed orthognathic surgeries are LeFort1 osteotomy for maxilla and bilateral saggital split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) for mandible (5)(6)(7)(8). Patient's satisfaction after orthognathic surgery is usually high.…”
