Using a questionnaire, 41 patients scheduled for orthognathic surgery were evaluated pre- and postoperatively to determine some of their psychological characteristics and treatment outcome from the patient's standpoint. Among other conclusions, the results showed that some patients may not fully understand the details of their deformity, despite a full explanation by the orthodontist and surgeon. Expectations regarding treatment outcome may be unrealistic even in patients with valid self-motivation for surgery. Social adjustment usually improves after treatment. Functional changes were noticed by over 80% of the patients and esthetic changes in over 90%.
通过问卷调查，对41名计划接受正颌手术的患者在术前和术后进行了评估，以从患者的角度确定他们的一些心理特征和治疗结果。除其他结论外，结果表明，尽管正畸医生和外科医生进行了充分解释，但一些患者可能并未完全理解其畸形的细节。即使是对手术有合理自我动机的患者，对治疗结果的期望也可能不切实际。治疗后社会适应能力通常会有所改善。超过80%的患者注意到了功能变化，超过90%的患者注意到了美观变化。
