Surgery First Orthognathic Approach

The book "Surgery First Orthognathic Approach" offers a comprehensive analysis of an innovative approach to jaw surgery known as the Surgery First Orthognathic Approach (SFOA). Unlike traditional methods, which typically involve orthodontic treatment first, SFOA prioritizes the surgical correction of jaw issues that affect chewing, breathing, and facial aesthetics. This method can significantly reduce treatment time, as it may eliminate the need for lengthy preoperative orthodontic procedures. The book examines the relevance of SFOA for various malocclusions and provides a detailed exploration of its historical development, advantages and limitations, as well as the practical implementation of this method in jaw surgery.
