Background: This study aimed to analyze 3-dimensional nasolabial soft tissue changes following double jaw surgery with Le Fort I maxillary advancement and relate them to underlying surgical movements.
Methods: Pre- and post-surgical cone-beam computed tomography images of 37 maxillomandibular surgery patients with ≥2 mm of advancement at A-point were analyzed. Lateral cephalograms were constructed to determine horizontal and vertical surgical movements and 3-dimensional facial images were created from the CBCTs to calculate linear and angular changes.
