The present paper considers the role of orthodontic treatment and prosthetics in the recovery period after surgical treatment of an injury to the maxillofacial area. Analyzing the sources within the framework of the research topic, the author cconcludes tthat surgical treatment of maxillofacial trauma and postoperative rehabilitation often requires an interdisciplinary approach, which makes it a difficult task. This is due to the fact that these injuries usually affect several structures of the oral cavity and face, including hard and soft tissues, often causing malocclusion. Thus, the clinical picture and the appropriate treatment strategy may vary greatly from one person to another. Therefore, before drawing up a final treatment plan, a thorough and thoughtful multidisciplinary assessment of each patient is necessary.
