Orthodontic preparation before orthognatic surgery must straighten teeth alignment to enable correct adaptation of the upper and lower arches. It must also rectify dento-alveolar abnormalities partially responsible for the dysmorphosis and which can hinder smooth articulation of the bones. Thus before and after the operation, the orthodontist will have to prepare and monitor the surgical splints used in posterior deficiencies.
正颌手术前的正畸准备必须矫正牙齿排列，以使上下牙弓正确适配。还必须纠正部分导致畸形且可能妨碍骨骼顺利接合的牙-牙槽异常情况。因此，在手术前后，正畸医生都必须准备并监测用于后牙区缺损的手术夹板。
