First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 24 adults with a specific jaw misalignment (Class III) who needed double-jaw surgery. Researchers compared two different surgical timings—surgery first versus surgery early—to see how they affected tooth root length and volume, as well as facial soft tissues. The goal was to understand which timing might lead to better outcomes for teeth and facial appearance.
