It is indicated in patients who have severe skeletal problems, very severe dentoalveolar problems that are too severe to be corrected by orthodontics alone, in whom growth is completed and growth modifications cannot be done. Combined orthodontic and surgical treatment of dentofacial deformities presents the clinician with new therapeutic alternatives as well as different diagnostic and mechanotherapy problems. In order to achieve the goals of esthetics, function, and stability, the orthodontist must understand and employ a number of new treatment concepts. This book deals with the pre and post surgical orthodontic procedures.
