Article Synopsis
- Orthognathic surgery is widely recognized for correcting dentofacial deformities, but its effectiveness in treating temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) is debated.
- TMD symptoms should be addressed separately from any dentofacial issues to ensure appropriate treatment.
- It's crucial to adjust surgical plans to reduce the chances of worsening TMJ pain and related complications after surgery.
