Minimally Invasive Aesthetic and Functional Jaw Surgery - State of the Art

Traditionally patients with an imbalanced facial appearance, dental and orthodontic problems, sleep and breathing disturbances, need to undergo orthodontic treatment and orthognathic "jaw" surgery. It has recently been shown that facial growth can be stimulated and orthodontic treatment be accelerated by minimally invasive procedures possibly avoiding the need for jaw surgery. In this talk the current state of the art of jaw surgery and minimally invasive procedures will be reviewed.
