Impact of 3D-Printed Anatomical Model on Patient Understanding in Orthognathic Surgery

Two standardized 3D-printed anatomical models were created-one representing skeletal Class II and the other skeletal Class III. Simulated osteotomies, including Le Fort I and Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomies, were performed on the models to demonstrate surgical movements. These models are used to help patients visualize the procedures planned for their specific cases.

Two-dimensional images generated from virtual surgical planning-one depicting a Class II skeletal deformity and the other a Class III malocclusion-are used to illustrate the patient's condition and demonstrate the anticipated surgical movements.
