Abstract:
Abstract: Studies of motivation, expectation and satisfaction show that patients seek orthognathic surgery not for functional but rather for esthetic reasons wherby the weighing of the reasons for the individual depends e.g. on the extraoral extent of the skeletal deformity. Independent from that, the orthodontist has to set the treatment goals so that the esthetic and function for the individual is optimal. For example the solely occlusion orientated therapy might not be related to a satisfying facialesthetic result.
