Less invasive jaw surgery may change face shape differently, study finds

NCT ID NCT07595978

First seen May 21, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 31 people with a type of jaw misalignment called skeletal Class III deformity. Researchers compared how the face's soft tissues changed after two types of jaw surgery: a minimally invasive approach and a conventional one. Using 3D imaging, they measured differences in facial features and airway size to see which method might lead to better cosmetic and functional results.
