New study measures how well Surgery-First fixes jaw problems

This study looked at a treatment called "Surgery-First" for people with a severe underbite (skeletal Class III malocclusion). Instead of wearing braces before surgery, patients had jaw surgery first to fix the bone problem, then braces afterward. Researchers studied 60 patients using CT scans and digital dental models to see how the bones and face changed right after surgery and one year later. The goal was to understand how well this approach works and how stable the results are over time.
