4. A combined orthodontic and orthognathic surgery
approach is accepted as the standard of care for patients
who have a severe skeletal jaw discrepancy with facial
asymmetry.
One drawback is the prolonged presurgical treatment time
that typically worsens facial appearance and exacerbates
the malocclusion.
INTRODUCTION
5. Recently, to address patient demand and satisfaction,
the Surgery first approach was introduced to
overcome some disadvantages associated with the
conventional surgical orthodontic approach.

Simon Hullihen in 1848.
J.B. Caldwell and G.S. Letterman in 1954, devised a
vertical osteotomy of the ascending ramus to allow for
setback of the mandible followed by direct wire fixation.
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
8. In 1957, Trauner and Obwegeser
introduced sagittal splitting ramus
osteotomy, which marked the
beginning of the modern era of
orthognathic surgery.
Obwegeser was also the first to develop
LeFort osteotomy to move the maxilla
in all three dimensions, reporting a
large series of maxillary osteotomy
cases in 1969.

1959 - Skaggs suggested that patients with minor dentition
problems may receive surgery before orthodontic treatment.

12. INDICATIONS
The criteria that are suggested for Surgery First Approach are:
• Well-aligned to mild crowding.
• Flat to mild curve of Spee.
• Normal to mild proclination/ retroclination of incisors.
• Minimal transverse discrepancy.
13. Even though, the surgery-first technique can be applied
to Class II as well as Class III malocclusions, the
majority of cases treated using this approach have been
cases with Class III malocclusion meeting the above
criteria.
14. CONTRAINDICATIONS
Patient who require definite decompensation
Severe crowding
Arch-incoordination
Severe vertical or transverse discrepancy
Severe proclination of upper and lower anteriors

18. TIMING OF BONDING IN SFOA
Sugawara and Nagasaka recommended that fixed orthodontic
appliances should be placed just before surgery even when using
a surgery first approach.
But the problem is, when brackets are attached immediately
before surgery the bond strength of bracket to teeth might be
weak and fail to resist the force of intermaxillary fixation.

Malocclusion with an Impinging Bite. J Clin Orthod 2010: 56 (7): 429-438.
19. Chung et al. recommended the brackets should be placed
1 week before orthognathic surgery.
Ellen Wen Ching recommended 1 month before surgery
Generally in most cases, the brackets and the wires are
placed right before surgery.

prognathism – a case report. Chang Gung Med J. 2010 Nov-Dec;33(6):699-705.
20. Federico Hernandez reported the total elimination of
preoperative orthodontic treatment and the fitting of
orthodontic brackets 10-14 days after surgery.
If these are not placed before surgery, placement in the
immediate postoperative period is often very difficult for the
patients because of swelling, discomfort and limited mouth
opening during this time.

21. STABILIZING/ INITIAL ARCH WIRES IN SFOA
Most authors used stabilizing wires before surgery. Some
used NiTi wires and some used stainless steel wires.
Liou et al did not place any orthodontic archwires before
surgery.
22. Ching et al used 0.016x0.022” superelastic NiTi wire.
Carlos et al have opted to use 0.16” nickel-titanium wires at
time of surgery.
The use of nickel-titanium wires translates into immediate
tooth movement after surgery which can be an advantage.

23. Sugawara and Nagasaka preferred 0.18”x0.25” SS wires and
0.19”x0.25” SS wires in 0.022 slot are adapted to all teeth for
preventing any tooth movement.
Either brackets have hooks or brass wire (lugs) are soldered
to the arch wire for wiring fixation, prefabricated ball hooks
may also be used, kobayashi hooks can also be used.

Orthod 2010: 56 (2): 97-103.
24. Alternatively, Baek et al suggested the archwire can be
bonded directly to tooth surfaces to function as an arch bar a
few days prior to surgery.
Although direct wire bonding is comfortable for the patient,
it is difficult to remove the bonded wire and replace with
brackets during the healing period.

surgical movement and postoperative orthodontic treatment. J Craniofac Surg. 2010: 21: 332–338.
25. SPLINTS IN SFOA
The use of surgical splint during and after surgery also varies
between different orthodontists.
While some advocate the use of the splint only during
surgery, other groups have advocated its use anywhere between
one to four weeks after surgery
26. Nagasaka et al have used removable Gelb–type splints
post operatively.
Their preference is to leave the splint in for about 4 to 6
weeks after surgery
Nagasaka H, Sugawara J, Kawamura H, Nanda R. surgery first skeletal class III correctionusing the skeletal anchorage system. J Clin Orthod
2009: 58 (2): 97-105.
27. Sugawara et al modified the surgical splint into a removable
maxillary occlusal splint, which was used to stabilize the jaw
position and masticatory function.

Malocclusion with an Impinging Bite. J Clin Orthod 2010: 56 (7): 429-438.
28. LABORATORY PROCEDURES
Pre-surgical procedure with the dental model is the most
important step in the surgery-first approach.
“Set-up models” are used to predict and simulate dental
positions and arch coordination for decision on surgical jaw
movement.
29. Liou et al suggested to set-up model surgery in proper
molar relationships with a positive overbite that is opposite
to the conventional approach which uses decompensated
incisors as the guide to predict the final occlusion.
30. The molar relationship could be
Class I in cases of nonextraction or bimaxillary first premolar
extraction
Class III in cases of lower first premolar extraction
Class II in cases of maxillary first premolar extraction.
Once the molar relationship has been established, the overjet
should also have been determined
31. VIRTUAL SURGICAL PLANNING
The demand for accuracy has driven the development of
computer assisted planning and splint fabrication.
Very complex dentofacial deformities especially the
asymmetric cases can be planned using computer-assisted
surgical simulation and splints can be virtually fabricated
32. Treatment Planning Considerations
The molar relationship can be utilized as a starting point to
come up with a temporary occlusion.
The inclination of upper incisors is important in determining the
need for possible extractions. If the upper incisor to occlusal
plane angulation is <53-55°, extraction must be considered.

33. The midlines must be coincident or close to it after surgery, and
proper buccal overjet must be established bilaterally
Depending on the degree of discrepancy between the two
arches, segmental osteotomies in more severe cases are
considered
34. Most challenging and time consuming step is the prediction
of the final occlusion based on the current position of teeth.
The term intended transitional malocclusion is used to
describe the occlusion that is used to fabricate the surgical
splint and surgeon's guide during surgery.
At least a three-point contact must be established between
the upper and lower models when deciding ITM
35. TREATMENT CONSIDERATIONS IN SKELETAL CLASS II IN
SFOA
In these cases, the upper incisors are usually retroclined while
the lower incisors are commonly flared out.
SFOA may be particularly beneficial for a class II patient
with a retrusive mandible.
Sugawara J, Aymach Z, Nagasaka H, Kawamura H, Nanda R, “Surgery First” Orthognathics to Correct a Skeletal Class II
Malocclusion with an Impinging Bite. J Clin Orthod 2010: 56 (7): 429-438.
36. Immediately after surgery the Class II malocclusion
becomes a super class I or Class III relationship following
mandibular advancement, with an edge-to-edge incisor
relationship or bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion.
This situation therefore requires the use of class III
orthodontic mechanics or it can also be corrected by
extracting all first premolars followed by retraction as in
class I bimaxillary protrusion cases.
37. In class II division 2 cases it is difficult to perform SFOA
as there is a less overjet.
In such cases surgery can be performed after uprighting
the upper anteriors and after obtaining the sufficient overjet
for the advancement of mandible or surgery can also be
performed directly without presurgical orthodontics thereby
getting reverse overjet, which can be corrected post-
surgically.
38. TREATMENT CONSIDERATIONS IN SKELETAL CLASS III IN
SFOA
In these cases, the lower incisors are usually crowded and
retroclined while the maxillary incisors are commonly flared
out.
When surgery is performed first, a class III malocclusion
always become a class II relationship immediately after
mandibular setback which should be maintained with surgical
splint and requires class II orthodontic mechanics after surgery
and adjustment of the anterior teeth can be managed
postoperatively.

43. Severe Class II
Anteroposterior Maxillary Excess
Mandibular anteroposterior deficiency
Combination
Anteroposterior Discrepancy
44. Surgical correction Class II
The clinician should carefully differentiate between maxillary
anteroposterior excess and mandibular anteroposterior
deficiency.
An anterior segmental osteotomy of the maxilla is often
performed as part of a Le Fort I procedure.
45. The surgical technique of choice is the bilateral sagittal split
ramus osteotomy, which advances the distal (tooth-bearing)
segment to maximum dental intercuspation.
46. The position of the maxillary and mandibular incisors
controls both the amount the mandibular advancement
as well as the facial height after surgery.
The chin may still appear deficient after advancement
of the mandible, and an advancement genioplasty may
be indicated to improve final esthetics.
47. Severe Class III cases
Maxillary anteroposterior deficiency
Mandibular anteroposterior excess,
Combination
48. Surgical treatment FOR CLASS III
The maxilla is advanced by means of a Le Fort I osteotomy.
This versatile procedure enables the surgeon to correct
discrepancies in the anteroposterior, vertical and transverse
planes.
49. Bilateral sagittal split ramal osteotomy of the mandible is a
good option for reduction in mandibular length in skeletal
class III patients.
Some cases with chin prominence may require genioplasty
also to achieve pleasant profile.
50. Transverse discrepancy
Severe Cross-bite cases due to transverse jaw discrepancy or
TMJ disorders out of the scope of expansion appliances or
functional therapy.
The intercanine and intermolar width of the upper and lower
arch are coordinated either by surgery or post surgical
orthodontics.
51. Wide maxilla with a transverse discrepancy more than a
molar width on each side - Le Fort I osteotomy of the
maxilla.
Wide maxilla with a transverse discrepancy less than a
molar width on each side - postoperative orthodontic tooth
movement.
Narrow maxilla - surgically assisted rapid palatal
expansion
53. To correct the vertical discrepancy, the maxilla must be
superiorly repositioned by a Le Fort I osteotomy.
Surgical treatment for Vertical Maxillary Excess :
54. Maxillary Vertical Deficiency
Maxillary vertical deficiency is very often associated with
maxillary anteroposterior deficiency, in which the maxilla
does not develop in a forward and downward direction.
55. The surgical treatment objective for patients with maxillary
vertical deficiency is to reposition the maxilla forward and
downward.
The mandible will rotate clockwise, and the vertical height
of the face will increase.
56. Rotation of the Maxillomandibular Complex :
Superior repositioning of the maxilla will cause the
mandible to rotate counterclockwise, inferior
repositioning of the maxilla will result in a clockwise
rotation of the mandible.
57. Two jaw surgery
Two-jaw surgery may be indicated in patients with severe
Class II/III malocclusion.
Here the orthodontist should adopt the “two-patient” concept,
in which the mandibular and maxillary arches are treated
independently, almost as if they belong to two different
patients; however, the two arches should still be compatible.
58. POSTOPERATIVE PROCEDURE IN SFOA
The objectives of orthodontic treatment after surgery in the
SFOA technique are dental alignment, arch coordination and
allow occlusal settling.
This period can speed up orthodontic tooth movement due
to Regional Acceleratory Phenomenon.
59. The surgical splint and intermaxillary fixations should be
removed for the tooth movement.
Leelasinjaroen et al suggested postsurgical orthodontic
treatment could begin as early as one week to one month
postoperatively.
Kim et al suggested to wait four to six weeks.

9 months.

61. Villegas et al removed the fixed appliances 7 months after
surgery.
Treatment time was approximately 6-12 months shorter
using a surgery-first approach compared with using a
conventional orthodontics-first approach
62. ADVANTAGES OF SFOA OVER THE
CONVENTIONAL APPROACH
Early correction of soft tissue problems.
Minimize serious psychosocial difficulties encountered by
patients.
Entire treatment period is shortened to 1 to 1.5 years or less.
Phenomenon of RAP reduces the difficulty and treatment time
of orthodontic management.
Compensation of surgical error or skeletal relapse is possible
later
Earlier resolution of temporomandibular disorders and sleep
disordered breathing
63. PREVENTION OF SOFT-TISSUE PROFILE WORSENING IN
SURGERY FIRST ORTHODONTICS
Decompensation in the first stage of the conventional
approach works against all of nature’s compensatory
mechanisms
Surgical procedure is performed prior, the hard- and soft-
tissue imbalance is corrected; thus, the alignment of teeth is
done easily without the need to struggle with the biological
restraints
64. MINIMIZE SERIOUS PSYCHOSOCIAL DIFFICULTIES
ENCOUNTERED BY PATIENTS
Undergoing surgical correction addresses
the chief complaint of the patient at the
very start of therapy.
Patients have the possibility to select the
timing of surgery to accommodate for the
postsurgical recovery period.
65. REDUCTION IN DURATION OF TREATMENT
Two major factors:
1.The correction of the hard- and soft-tissue
disharmony before initiating tooth movement.
2. The regional acceleratory phenomenon (RAP).
66. REGIONAL ACCELERATORY PHENOMENON
The regional acceleratory phenomenon (RAP) was well
described by Harold Frost in 1989
After an osteotomy, bone remodeling around the healing
tissue facilitates the healing process.
This regional acceleratory phenomenon can be utilized by the
orthodontist following orthognathic surgery to accelerate tooth
movement
Verna C. Regional acceleratory phenomenon. Kantarci A, Will L, Yen S (eds): Tooth Movement. Front Oral
Biol. Basel, Karger, 2016, vol 18, pp 28–35.
67. Studies shows that orthognathic surgery triggers 3 to 4
months of higher osteoclastic activities and metabolic
changes in the dentoalveolus.
RAP shows peak activity in 1 to 2 months after
surgery.
68. COMPENSATION OF SURGICAL ERROR OR SKELETAL
RELAPSE
If a surgical error or skeletal relapse occurs, compensation
can be made with skeletal anchorage system
In conventional treatment, the decompensation is completed
before surgery, it is difficult or impossible to recover from
surgical error during postsurgical orthodontic treatment.
69. Early resolution of temporomandibular disorders and
sleep disordered breathing
• Significant number of temporomandibular disorder (TMD)
symptom resolution along with excellent results with the
surgical procedures of patients with mandibular prognathism
using SFA have been reported.
• Early advancement procedures help immediately increasing
the dimension of the upper airway. Hence resolution of
obstructive sleep apnea
70. DISADVANTAGES OF SURGERY FIRST APPROACH
Predicting the final occlusion is the hardest challenge with surgery first
approach.
The requirement for more surgical movement to compensate for
postoperative orthodontic movement.
Without presurgical orthodontics, it is difficult to obtain a stable
occlusion immediately after surgery.
Cases requiring extractions are especially very difficult to plan when
performing surgery first. Thus, case selection is of outmost importance.
73. STABILITY
• More than 50% of SFOA patients with class III deformities may have more
than 2 mm of relapse at the pogonion, according to certain reports and some
SFOA patients had more relapses than the COSA (57.9% versus 26.3%) as
per some studies.
74. A systematic review of systematic reviews was
conducted following criteria to evaluate any difference
between surgery first approach (SFA) and conventional
orthognathic approach (COA) in terms of skeletal
stability, treatment time, complications and quality of
life.
75. CONCLUSION
A good stability of the jaws was assessed both with SFA and
COA.
Less treatment time was reported for SFA than COA.
Slightly higher complications rate was recorded with SFA
than COA.
76. A better quality of life with SFA than COA was
reported.
SFA may represent a reasonable alternative to COA.
However, well-designed studies with a long term
follow-up are needed to clarify the findings of this
analysis.
77. This study showed that the worsening of the facial profile
during the traditional orthognathic surgery approach had a
negative impact on the perception of patients quality of
life.
Surgeons should consider the possibility of a surgery-first
approach to prevent this occurrence
78. Two major differences between the recent and
old protocol, exists, which are
• In the recent protocol, placement of brackets
and passive surgical wires is no longer
required before jaw surgery, and only
surgical hooks are needed to be bonded to
the lateral teeth.
79. Further, the duration of surgical splint use has been
significantly shortened. Instead of a surgical splint, a
posterior build-up in the maxillary dentition is used to
secure a vertical stop.
80. CONCLUSION
Performing orthognathic surgery before orthodontic
treatment has multiple advantages including: shortened
treatment time, increased patient acceptance, and the
utilization of RAP.
If the cases are selected carefully, the orthodontist and the
surgeon are experienced enough to predict the final
occlusion beforehand, and , the results can be very
promising

For pts with facial asymmetry or skeletal jaw discrepancy, combined

The main drawback is the prolonged presurgical….that involves the decompensation period which worsens
To overcome the disadv associated with the conventional approach and to address the pt satisfac…. introduced
As you can see, in conventional approach we have the pretreatment orthodontic phasic phase where decompensation is donw which worsens the profile. Then surgery is done to cooreect the skeletal prblm finally
In the conventional orthodontics-first concept, pre-operative orthodontic treatment is provided to ensure the best possible position of dentition in the individual jaws prior to surgery, whereas the surgery-first approach provides the best possible normal jaw relations before the initiation of orthodontic treatment
Instead of dental decompensation using the orthodontic treatment before surgery, SFA utilizes more surgical approaches for dental decompensations (red arrow, orthodontic treatment; black arrow, surgical movements)
Whereas in surgery first sequ, we begin with surgery followed by
establishment of good teeth inclination, and elimination of tooth- size discrepancies so as to permit class I canine and molar relationships temporary anchorage devices, such as orthodontic mini-screws, and strategic orthodontic extractions may be used for this dental decompensation. retracting the maxillary incisors and protracting the mandibular incisors are often required in skeletal class III malocclusion Preoperative orthodontic treatment • Leveling and alignment of dental arches to eliminate any occlusal interference at surgery • Removal of all dental compensations to maximize optimal surgical repositioning of the jaw.

obvegers
Since Nagasaka’s publication [21], the surgery-first approach has improved rapidly and has also been abused at times. Some surgeons performed “surgery first” without orthodontic consultation, and patients were referred to any orthodontist (personal observations). As surgery was done without any consideration for postoperative orthodontic treatment, some patients showed serious complications functionally and esthetically
The results demonstrated entirely acceptable facial esthetics and dental occlusion, with total treatment time of less than 12 months
The 2011 symposium presented the surgery-first approach and created broader interest in the complete elimination of time-consuming preoperative orthodontic treatment
Esthetic, functional and psychological
. When a patient refuses surgery after all the preparations have been made, the results can be catastrophic.
Decompensation is done by positioning the jaw bones properly
. Patients with deep curve of Spee show a tendency to higher relapse at B-point [32]. In the course of flattening the curve of Spee, the mandible shows clockwise rotation because of posterior teeth extrusion
Because patients with class III prognathism with open bite usually have mild crowding and less dental compensation, they are good candidates for the surgery-first approach [
Some unfavorable cases may be considered for the surgery-first approach. However, much more sophisticated treatment plan is required for unfavorable cases.
The bond strength of the brackets might not be enough to resisit the force of intermaxillary fixation
The incidence of bracket failure (missing or loosening) has been reported to be 16% in patients who had orthodontic brackets used for MMF during conventional orthognathic surgery. • Since the SFA involves more two-jaw surgeries and orthodontic brackets are not usually placed with strong surgical archwires, the brackets and wires in the SFA frequently cannot bear or distribute the tightening stress during MMF. • The potential risk of bracket failure might be higher than that in the conventional approach. • Better to apply additional screws for MMF rather than relying on the brackets, especially for the SFA.
But there is a practical difficuly with the swelling… associated with the sur
Leveling and aligning have not yet been performed in SFOA which makes it very difficult to place the wire.
However, in doing so, the orthodontist loses the opportunity to observe the stability of the surgical correction prior to starting the tooth movement

leading to various signs of Functional disturbances or occlusal trauma, and Esthetic Concerns and Facial asymmetries in severe cases
Because overclosure of the mandible makes patients with maxillary vertical deficiency appear clinically similar to those with mandibular anteroposterior excess, the clinician should differentiate between the two deformities.

Serum alkaline phosphatase(osteoblastic activity) and C-terminal telopeptide (osteoclastic )of type I collagen are two bone markers which have are studied for RAP.
. In clinical study, the serum level of alkaline phosphatase and type I collagen, which may be markers for bone turnover, is increased until 3 to 4 months postoperatively [8]. This is called the regional acceleratory phenomenon (RAP). RAP shows peak activity in 1 to 2 months after surgery and lasts until 6 to 24 months postoperatively in case of periodontal flap surgery [
