Abstract
Orthognathic surgery is an alteration in the dynamic relationship of the skeletal and soft tissues of the maxillofacial complex. It has been extensively studied with wire osteosynthesis. Initially, with the advent of rigid fixation, it was thought that relapse would be a problem of the past; however, inspection of results and carefully done studies has shown that while lessened, relapse still occurs.
