It has been 50 years since the landmark presentation by Hugo Obwegeser at Walter Reed Army Hospital. At that conference, Professor Obwegeser offered American surgeons techniques to correct facial skeletal deformities with access through intraoral incisions. As important advances in surgical technique and anesthesia evolved for the surgical procedures, a major contribution by American orthodontists in collaboration with surgeons was the creation of a common diagnostic, planning, and treatment scheme for use by both clinician groups in the treatment of dentofacial deformities, the skeletal and dental problems of the most severely affected 5% of the population. This article summarizes what American orthodontists and surgeons have learned in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, and forecasts what might be the future of treatment for patients with dentofacial deformities.
自雨果·奥布韦格泽在沃尔特·里德陆军医院进行具有里程碑意义的演讲以来，已经过去了50年。在那次会议上，奥布韦格泽教授向美国外科医生介绍了通过口腔内切口进行面部骨骼畸形矫正的技术。随着手术技术和麻醉技术在外科手术中的重要进展，美国正畸医生与外科医生合作做出的一项重大贡献是创建了一种共同的诊断、规划和治疗方案，供两个临床医生团队在治疗牙颌面畸形（即最严重受影响的5%人群的骨骼和牙齿问题）时使用。本文总结了美国正畸医生和外科医生在20世纪末和21世纪初所学到的知识，并预测了牙颌面畸形患者治疗的未来可能走向。
