Orthognathic surgery is a powerful tool to improve facial balance, form, and function. Virtual planning and three-dimensional printing has improved our ability to visualize complex anatomy, consider various iterations and execute complex movements, and create accurate splints, plates, and cutting guides. This article will outline the distinct advantages of the use of virtual surgical planning over traditional planning, and it will explore the utility of computer-aided design and technology within contemporary orthognathic surgery, including its expanded applications and limitations.
正颌外科手术是改善面部平衡、形态和功能的有力工具。虚拟规划和三维打印提高了我们可视化复杂解剖结构、考虑各种迭代方案并执行复杂动作的能力，还能制作精确的夹板、接骨板和切割导板。本文将概述虚拟手术规划相较于传统规划的显著优势，并探讨计算机辅助设计与技术在当代正颌外科手术中的应用，包括其扩展应用和局限性。
