Determinants of decision-making in orthognathic surgery among patients in Ha’il region, Saudi Arabia
The decision to undergo orthognathic surgery in Ha'il is predominantly driven by aesthetic concerns, with healthcare professionals playing a crucial role in patient education. Cultural beliefs have little influence, though social stigma is a notable factor. Enhancing patient education could improve decision-making, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030's healthcare goals.
