Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) has revolutionized orthognathic surgery by shifting the workflow from manual model surgery to high-precision 3D computer simulations. By utilizing CT data, surgeons can anatomically map vital structures and simulate bone repositioning with incredible accuracy
Research shows that VSP is particularly advantageous for patients with facial asymmetry, as it allows for precise linear and angular movements that are difficult to achieve with conventional planning.
This digital approach ensures that the surgical plan is accurate within 2 mm or 4 degrees, which is considered clinically imperceptible and highly reliable for complex bimaxillary cases.
