Orthognathic surgery has steadily evolved, gradually expanding its scope of application beyond its original purpose of simply correcting malocclusion and the facial profile. For instance, it is now used to treat obstructive sleep apnea and to achieve purely cosmetic outcomes. Recent developments in three-dimensional digital technology are being utilized throughout the entire process of orthognathic surgery, from establishing a surgical plan to printing the surgical splint. These processes have made it possible to perform more sophisticated surgery. The goal of this review article is to introduce current trends in the field of orthognathic surgery and controversies that are under active discussion. The role of a plastic surgeon is not limited to performing orthognathic surgery itself, but also encompasses deep involvement throughout the entire process, including the set-up of surgical occlusion and overall surgical planning. The authors summarize various aspects in the field of orthognathic surgery with the hope of providing helpful information both for plastic surgeons and orthodontists who are interested in orthognathic surgery.
正颌外科手术一直在稳步发展，其应用范围逐渐从最初单纯矫正错牙合畸形和面部轮廓扩展。例如，它现在被用于治疗阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停以及实现纯粹的美容效果。三维数字技术的最新进展在正颌外科手术的全过程中都得到了应用，从制定手术计划到打印手术夹板。这些过程使得实施更复杂的手术成为可能。这篇综述文章的目的是介绍正颌外科领域的当前趋势以及正在积极讨论的争议点。整形外科医生的作用不仅限于实施正颌外科手术本身，还包括在整个过程中深入参与，包括手术咬合的设置和整体手术规划。作者总结了正颌外科领域的各个方面，希望能为对正颌外科手术感兴趣的整形外科医生和正畸医生提供有用的信息。
