The use of combined surgical-orthodontic therapy for the correction of skeletal anomalies has moved from the obscure to the routine over the last 25 years. Its use has been extended to treat not only developmental problems in children and adolescents, but also traumatic and temporomandibular joint-related deformities in adults. Its use can be integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan, including prosthodontics, periodontics, and implant dentistry. The advent of rigid internal fixation has made it particularly more appealing for the treatment of adult patients, allowing the patients to return to normal daily activities more rapidly.
在过去25年里，联合外科正畸治疗用于矫正骨骼异常的情况已从鲜为人知发展为常规治疗。其应用范围不仅扩展到治疗儿童和青少年的发育问题，还包括治疗成人的创伤性和颞下颌关节相关畸形。它可以纳入一个综合治疗计划，包括修复学、牙周病学和种植牙学。坚固内固定的出现使其对成年患者的治疗更具吸引力，能让患者更快恢复正常日常活动。
