Article Synopsis
- The study compares the surgery-first approach with the traditional orthodontic-first approach for treating facial asymmetry in patients who underwent orthognathic surgery.
- Both approaches resulted in similar levels of asymmetry correction and skeletal stability, with comparable relapse ratios for various maxilla and mandibular measurements.
- Notably, the surgery-first approach led to a significantly shorter treatment duration (18.5 months) compared to the orthodontic-first approach (22.9 months), indicating potential efficiency advantages of the newer method.
