Facial symmetry refers to a complete coincidence of each facial component on the sagittal plane, while asymmetry refers to the bilateral difference between these components. The presence of perfect bilateral symmetry is almost never present in human, so it is more common for individuals to predominate facial asymmetry. However, this condition can result from functional and esthetic problems. This research seeks to determine the alternatives, diagnosis and ideal treatment plan for the correction of each type of facial asymmetry through orthognathic surgery. For this purpose, a review of articles published between 2015 to date was carried out. Selecting those that were focused on describing or evaluating facial and dentofacial symmetry and asymmetry, type of diagnosis or treatment plan, including clinical cases. The Google search engine, SciELO and databases of medical interest, such as PubMed, PMC and Medigraphic were used. According to the research and treatments carried out during the last few years in the dental clinic, it has been proven that orthognathic treatment accompanied by previous planning is the best option for the management of skeletal facial asymmetries.
面部对称性是指面部各组成部分在矢状面上完全重合，而非对称性则是指这些组成部分之间的双侧差异。人类几乎不存在完美的双侧对称性，因此个体面部不对称更为常见。然而，这种情况可能会导致功能和美观问题。本研究旨在确定通过正颌外科手术矫正每种面部不对称类型的替代方案、诊断方法和理想治疗方案。为此，对2015年至今发表的文章进行了综述。选择那些专注于描述或评估面部及牙颌面对称性和不对称性、诊断类型或治疗方案（包括临床病例）的文章。使用了谷歌搜索引擎、SciELO以及医学相关数据库，如PubMed、PMC和Medigraphic。根据过去几年牙科诊所进行的研究和治疗，已证明在前期规划的伴随下进行正颌治疗是管理骨骼性面部不对称的最佳选择。
