Facial esthetic perception between skeletal Class III patients treated with conventional and surgery-first orthognathic approaches
In this study, we indicate that the choice of orthognathic surgical protocol, whether surgery-first or conventional, did not significantly influence the perceived facial profile attractiveness of skeletal Class III patients. These findings support the clinical viability of the SFA protocol, particularly in cases where treatment time or patient preference are factors in decision-making.
