Opis

The concept of beauty of the face varies with the race, culture and the geographical elements. Sharp and harmonious features are the hallmark of the beauty. The osteotomy of the maxilla using the Le Fort I technique, has changed surgical corrections of dentofacial deformities fundamentally. Furthermore the upper dental arch can be expanded, intruded and shortened using a sagittal or transversal osteotomy in addition to a complete transposition of the maxilla.
