BACKGROUND: Posteroanterior and lateral cephalogram have been widely used for evaluating the necessity of orthognathic surgery. The purpose of this study was to develop a deep learning network to automatically predict the need for orthodontic surgery...
From a socio-psychological standpoint, improving the morphology of the facial soft-tissues is regarded as an important therapeutic goal in modern orthodontic treatment. Currently, many of the algorithms used in commercially available software program...
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 asym...

The purpose of this ambispective study was to investigate whether deep learning-based automatic segmentation and landmark detection, the SkullEngine, could be used for orthognathic surgical planning. Sixty-one sets of cone beam computed tomography (C...
Orthognathic surgery corrects jaw deformities to improve aesthetics and functions. Due to the complexity of the craniomaxillofacial (CMF) anatomy, orthognathic surgery requires precise surgical planning, which involves predicting postoperative change...
BACKGROUND: Preoperative planning of orthognathic surgery is indispensable for achieving ideal surgical outcome regarding the occlusion and jaws' position. However, orthognathic surgery planning is sophisticated and highly experience-dependent, which...

BACKGROUND: Despite increasing interest in how conversational agents might improve health care delivery and information dissemination, there is limited research assessing the quality of health information provided by these technologies, especially in...
INTRODUCTION: An ideal orthodontic treatment involves qualitative and quantitative measurements of dental and skeletal components to evaluate patients' discrepancies, such as facial, occlusal, and functional characteristics. Deciding between orthodon...
