Objectives: The effect of combined orthodontic-orthognathic treatment was estimated, specifically the impact of pre-surgical orthodontic treatment, on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL).
Materials And Methods: The research question was formulated using the PICO method. The search was carried out in MEDLINE via PubMed, CINAHL, psychINFO, Embase, and Cochrane (until February 3, 2020). Inclusion criteria were patients aged ≥ 17 years who underwent combined orthodontic-surgical treatment, quality of life assessment, and study design of randomized controlled trial, controlled clinical trial, prospective cohort study, observational study, intervention study, or cross-sectional study. The ROBINS-1 tool was used to assess the risk of bias within studies. A random effects meta-analysis was conducted when appropriate. The quality of evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach.
Results: Six studies were analyzed. The OHIP-14 and/or OQLQ-22 questionnaires were used to measure the OHRQoL. All six studies had a serious risk of bias. Two studies (87 participants) were included in a meta-analysis showing improvement of OHRQoL when comparing before and after treatment were compared (mean 14.85 scale points, 95% confidence interval 10.36;19.35).
Conclusions: Studies indicate a decrease in OHRQoL during the pre-surgical orthodontic treatment phase but improvement after orthodontic-orthognathic treatment. Data substantiating these results are limited, and the quality of evidence is low. Further research is needed to assess the impact of pre-surgical orthodontic treatment on the OHRQoL in an orthognathic trajectory.
Clinical Relevance: Patients should be well informed about the effect facial/esthetic changes may have on their OHRQoL during sequential phases of orthodontic-orthognathic treatment.

To explore the changes of atlantoaxial joint spaces and pharyngeal airway after combined orthodontic-orthognathic treatment in skeletal class Ⅲ patients with mandibular deviation. A total of 34 adult skeletal class Ⅲ patients (10 males and 24 females) with mandibular deviation who received combined orthodontic-orthognathic treatment at the Department of Orthodontics and the Department of Orthognathic Surgery in the Stomatological Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from August 2014 to October 2021 were retrospectively selected. The patients were 22 (5) years old (18-33 years).

Objectives: This study analyzed the differences in the upper airway of patients with skeletal Class III high-angle malocclusion with and without mandibular deviation, and further investigated whether there are differences in the changes in upper airway space after orthognathic surgery between the two groups.
Materials And Methods: 15 patients with skeletal Class III high-angle malocclusion and mandibular deviation, and 15 patients without mandibular deviation were selected to explore the impact of mandibular deviation on the upper airway. Additionally, 16 patients with mandibular deviation undergoing orthodontic-orthognathic combined treatment, and 13 patients without mandibular deviation, were selected to investigate the differences in the changes in upper airway space after orthognathic surgery between the two groups.

Objectives: This study aims to compare the effects of two orthodontic treatment modalities for skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion on specific changes in airway volume, morphology, palatal angle, mandibular rotation, and bone displacement. Results provide scientific evidence for the selection of orthodontic treatment plans and reduce the risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).
Methods: Thirty-six patients diagnosed with skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion at the Department of Orthodontics, the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from September 2018 to December 2023 were divided into two groups: orthodontic-orthognathic treatment group (18 patients) and camouflage orthodontic treatment group (18 patients).
Orthognathic surgery-related condylar resorption in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion versus class III malocclusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Orthodontic-orthognathic treatment is the standard of care for moderate and/or severe skeletal class III (SCIII) malocclusion. Following orthognathic surgery, morphological changes in the temporomandibular joint structures (TMJ) may contribute to condylar resorption (CR).
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to identify the morphological signs of condylar resorption (changes in the condylar head, position, neck, disk, and joint space) following orthognathic surgery in patients with SCIII compared with those with skeletal class II (SCII) malocclusion.
Management of a severe skeletal Class II hyperdivergent patient with asymmetric missing teeth with lingual appliances and mandibular osteotomy: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)

Faculty of Dentistry, PHENIKAA University, Hanoi, Vietnam.
Rationale: Orthognathic surgery cases are inherently challenging to treat with lingual appliances due to the complexities of orthodontic management and difficulties in achieving intermaxillary fixation during surgery. This challenge is further amplified in cases involving asymmetric space closure, such as those with a missing molar on one side and a premolar on the other, a scenario not yet documented in the literature. This case report presents the orthodontic-orthognathic management of an adult patient requiring space closure of asymmetric missing lower teeth.
