Abstract
In the history of orthodontics, surgery-first orthognathic approach (SFOA) has received sporadic interests, but did not gain popularity due to various reasons. The first jaw surgery was probably done surgery-first with no orthodontic planning prior to the surgery. From the 1970s to the turn of twenty-first century, conventional jaw surgery showed immense popularity, and it was also supported with credible empirical evidence. However, the caveats posed by conventional jaw surgery, in particular, the significantly longer time taken for pre-surgical orthodontics and worsening of the facial profile before surgery, have made practitioners re-evaluate conventional jaw surgery approach. The chapter deals with the overview of SFOA, its revival, and a brief comparison of salient features of conventional jaw surgery and SFOA.
We are not makers of history. We are made by history.
