Orthognathic surgery is procedure designated to correct conditions of the jaw and face related to structure, growth, sleep apnea, TMJ disorders, malocclusion problems owing to skeletal disharmonies or other orthodontic needs. It has been well documented in the numerous texts and very familiar with recent oral and maxillofacial surgeons all around the world. Each step of the procedure is clearly noticed with proper reason and purposes and guaranty the safe surgery. But some surgeons might modify any step for their own object under their experiences and sometimes the modified step was very useful, reliable and reasonable even they were not commented in any text or article. The present presentation would introduce and suggest my tips which were used practically during my orthognathic surgery. The following modified procedures are part of my tips which are going to mention to the audience.
2. Intentional fracture of pterygoid plate
3. Swing cinch
4. Effective exposure of descending palatine artery
I don't think those procedures are evidence-based but hope they might be the useful idea or applied to the audience's daily surgery.
