Did you know that 6-7% of our local population has dentofacial deformities and require othognathic surgery? Ever wondered when is the right age to refer patients with jaw discrepancies (e.g. Skeletal II and Skeletal III) and what sort of treatment plan is indicated for these patients? Can Orthognathic surgery be prevented?
This session aims to address these questions and more so that together, we can provide the best treatment outcome for our patients.
