Abstract

The most common bignathic osteotomy techniques currently used to correct growth-related sagittal, vertical, and transverse deviations, as in syndromal and non-syndromal maldevelopments, involve Le Fort osteotomies in combination with splitting techniques in the mandible. Segmented and multi-segmented maxillae are an option for transversal and vertical corrections in the upper jaw. In the vast majority of midface osteotomies, the Le Fort I osteotomy is used. It is a safe and versatile procedure when performed correctly.
