The surgical-orthodontic correction of mandibular deficiency. Part II

American Journal of Orthodontics, 1983
As discussed in Part I of this study, persons with mandibular deficiency and Class II malocclusions exhibit a wide spectrum of esthetic, cephalometric, and occlusal characteristics. In many such patients optimal overall results are best obtained via a combined orthodontic-surgical approach. In such patients a critical evaluation is essential to decide (

SURGICAL-ORTHODONTIC CORRECTION OF ADULT FACIAL DEFORMITIES

Dental Clinics of North America, 1996
The use of combined surgical-orthodontic therapy for the correction of skeletal anomalies has moved from the obscure to the routine over the last 25 years. Its use has been extended to treat not only developmental problems in children and adolescents, but also traumatic and temporomandibular joint-related deformities in adults.
