PMID: 35196690

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The surgery-first orthognathic approach has been applied at our institution since 2007. However, its indications remain debated. The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability of the surgery-first approach to correct facial asymmetry compared to the traditional orthodontics-first approach using a novel artificial intelligence-based cephalometric analysis.
