The aim of this paper was to systematically review and compare the Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index (AHI), Lowest O Saturation (LSAT), Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI), Epworth Sleep Scale (ESS), and Body Mass Index (BMI) between dentofacial (skeletal) classes I, II, and III before and after maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). The PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL databases were searched from inception to 23 November 2022. Two reviewers screened for articles that reported occlusion/malocclusion class type as I, II, or III, and reported preoperative and postoperative AHI, LSAT, ODI, ESS, and/or BMI.

Orthognathic surgery, a pivotal treatment for patients with significant facial aesthetic and occlusal concerns, traditionally involves a phased approach comprising preoperative orthodontics, surgery, and postoperative orthodontic treatment. However, the extended duration of conventional methods often leads to patient dissatisfaction. In response, the surgery-first approach (SFA) has emerged as an alternative, aiming to streamline treatment and reduce complexity.
