Comparative Assessment of Orthodontic and Aesthetic Outcomes after Orthognathic Surgery with Clear Aligner or Fixed Appliance Therapy


Professor Amy Lou presented the latest advances in integrating clear aligners with orthognathic surgery, highlighting their application in complex dentofacial deformities. The lecture compared orthodontic and esthetic outcomes between clear aligners and fixed appliances, reviewed current evidence, and discussed biomechanics, attachment design, and clinical protocols. The presentation demonstrated that clear aligner therapy offers a predictable, efficient, and effective treatment option for orthognathic surgery patients while expanding the role of digital orthodontics in craniofacial care.
