“…46 47 Distraction osteogenesis, either with tooth-borne, bone-borne, or a hybrid-anchored device, has been suggested as the treatment of choice for mandibular arch expansion without affecting bigonial width. 48 49 Correspondingly, for those transverse maxillary deficiencies too large to be treated with segmental Le Fort 1 (> 7–8 mm), surgically assisted maxillary expansion (SAME) may be indicated to widened the maxillary arch in a horizontal plane. Depending on the degree of maxillary constriction, asymmetry, and anteroposterior discrepancy, SAME or mandibular expansion can be recommended as a definitive occlusal treatment or as a first-stage procedure in anticipation of future orthognathic surgery.…”

Orthognathic surgery is a powerful tool to improve facial balance, form, and function. Virtual planning and three-dimensional printing has improved our ability to visualize complex anatomy, consider various iterations and execute complex movements, and create accurate splints, plates, and cutting guides. This article will outline the distinct advantages of the use of virtual surgical planning over traditional planning, and it will explore the utility of computer-aided design and technology within contemporary orthognathic surgery, including its expanded applications and limitations.
