Abstract
The surgery-first approach in surgical orthodontic treatment is re-emerging as the preferred technique when compared to the traditional orthodontic first-approach. Despite its growing popularity, no planning protocol that offers comprehensive and accurate predictions has been described for the surgery-first approach. In this article, the authors utilize computer aided surgical simulation (CASS) to provide two planning methods for the surgery-first approach. The benefits of using CASS for planning include enhanced 3-dimensional visualization of treatment progression, the ability for surgeons and orthodontists to discuss and visualize in detail any potential treatment algorithm, and providing a more precise prediction for the surgeon, orthodontist, and patient in surgery first cases.
