Abstract
Orthognathic surgery is complex surgical procedure used to correct a range of skeletal and dental abnormalities in the maxillofacial region. Traditionally, the surgery first approach involved pre-surgical orthodontic treatment to align the teeth before the surgical correction of the jaw position. However, in recent years, a new approach known as the Surgery First Approach (SFA) has gained popularity. This approach involves performing the orthognathic surgery first, followed by post-surgical orthodontic treatment. This essay explores the concept of the Surgery First Approach to Orthognathic Surgery, its methods, results, limitations, and implications for orthodontic practice.
