Craniofacial Distraction: Orthodontic Considerations
Abstract
A combined surgical and orthodontic approach to midface and mandibular distraction optimizes stability and outcomes. Orthodontic considerations include proper planning of the distraction vector, appropriate device use, and thorough follow-up through the consolidation and postoperative period. The dental occlusion must be managed throughout treatment in order to achieve ideal results.
Keywords: Mandibular distraction; Midface distraction; Orthodontic considerations; Outcomes; Surgical planning.
