- [A New Option for "Surgery First” using Skeletal Anchorage and Aligners]
Abstract: Since most of the Class III patients who underwent Surgery First (SF) show Class II open bite immediately after orthognathic surgery due to no presurgical orthodontics and occlusal interference at the molar region, the Skeletal Anchorage System (SAS) biomechanics is indispensable for distalization and intrusion of the maxillary posterior teeth, and mesialization of the mandibular posteriors during postsurgical orthodontic treatment. In addition to SAS, we are recently applying aligners to reduce treatment time of multi-bracket system in order to raise the QOL during postsurgical treatment. As the SF patients need quick three-dimensional molar movement immediately after surgery, it seems to be less beneficial to completely eliminate MBS in post-surgical orthodontics at the present time. But, there is no question about that the application of aligners to detailing and finishing is very friendly to patients.

- 【Surgery First with Application of Aligners】
- Conventional surgical orthodontics has had limitations in skeletal deformity patients, the most serious of them being the aggravation of anterior crossbite and prognathic profile following the decompensation of the incisors during presurgical orthodontics in Class III patients. In an attempt to avert these problems but at the same time improve the quality of conventional surgical orthodontics, we have been trying a completely different approach: surgery is carried out with no presurgical orthodontics whatsoever. This new approach, Surgery First (SF), is now possible because of the development of a skeletal anchorage system (SAS), which uses titanium miniplates as temporary anchorage devices in postsurgical orthodontic treatment, and enables the three-dimensional movements of the entire dentition in non-growing patients. In particular, since most of the Class III patients who underwent SF show Class II open bite immediately after orthognathic surgery due to no presurgical orthodontics and occlusal interference at the molar region, distalization and intrusion of posterior teeth during postsurgical orthodontic treatment should be predictably carried out with the application of SAS in a short period. In addition to SAS, we are recently applying aligners to raise the QOL during treatment and reduce treatment time of multi-bracketed system (MBS) as short as possible. Since most SF patients need quick 3D molar movement immediately after jaw surgery, it seems to be less beneficial to completely eliminate MBS in post-surgical orthodontics at the present time. But it must be more patient friendly to apply aligners for detailing and finishing. In this presentation, the up-to-date protocol of SF including the application of aligners will be discussed.
