Article Synopsis
- The study explores the impact of orthognathic surgery on wind instrument players with severe malocclusion, focusing on the challenges and outcomes experienced post-surgery.
- Interviews with seven advanced players revealed that an ideal jaw relationship is not necessary for a successful musical career, but surgery can lead to complete embouchure loss and difficulties in playing.
- Recovery, including neurosensory adjustments and "wind instrument rehabilitation," takes at least six months, and surgery should only be pursued when there are clear oral health needs due to associated risks.
