Abstract
The goal in corrective surgery of the face should be a harmonious and well-proportioned face. Mandibular and maxillary deformities cannot only be addressed by a mono-maxillary approach, because facial deformities are not always limited to one jaw but may manifest as a bi-maxillary deformity in both jaws simultaneously. A mono-maxillary approach may lead to an unsatisfactory functional and esthetic result compared to combined bi-maxillary interventions in the mandible and maxilla. This realization has existed for a long time, but could only lead to the development of bi-maxillary corrective surgery with the development of standardized surgical techniques and reliable anesthetic control.
