Well, let’s
go step by step… When the teeth don’t fit together and the
face is in disharmony at the same time we have a dentofacial deformity.
It is true! Lots of people don’t bite correctly and the cause is
not completely due to the dental arches. The facial bones participate in
the problem and interfere with function and esthetics.. Statistics point
out that 5% of the population needs besides orthodontic treatment, orthognathic
surgery for treatment to correct the jaws bony position.
The most common
examples are:
