Orthognathic Surgical Case Planning Assistant
Plan orthognathic surgery cases with skeletal analysis and surgical simulation
What You Can Do
You can systematically evaluate patients with severe skeletal discrepancies and develop coordinated surgical treatment plans that integrate cephalometric analysis, surgical movement simulation, and patient communication strategies. This skill structures the entire pre-operative planning process—from baseline skeletal assessment through surgical consultation readiness—ensuring precise documentation and clear coordination with maxillofacial surgery partners.
Features
Evaluate ANB, vertical dimensions, transverse discrepancies, and functional asymmetries using standardized cephalometric landmarks
Predict maxillomandibular advancement outcomes and visualize post-operative skeletal relationships before surgical consultation
Define specific surgical goals (anterior-posterior correction, vertical control, transverse expansion) with measurable parameters
Sequence pre-operative orthodontics, decompensation strategy, and timeline coordination with surgical team
Generate clear explanations of skeletal problems, surgical solutions, and realistic post-operative expectations
Create clinical summaries demonstrating medical necessity and severity criteria for surgical intervention
Ensure all pre-operative requirements completed before maxillofacial surgery consultation
Example Output
Example 1: Class III Surgical Case Summary
- Skeletal pattern: ANB -6° (severe Class III)
- Vertical: Normal FMA, adequate posterior facial height
- Plan: Maxillary advancement 5-7mm, mandibular setback 3-4mm
- Pre-surgical phase: 8-12 months decompensation and leveling
Example 2: Patient Communication Document "Your lower jaw is positioned forward relative to your upper jaw by approximately 6mm, which affects your bite and facial profile. Surgical correction involves moving your upper jaw forward and lower jaw back to establish proper alignment. Braces before surgery will prepare your teeth for the corrected jaw position."
Example 3: Surgical Consultation Readiness Checklist ✓ Cephalometric analysis with surgical predictions completed ✓ Functional assessment and TMJ status documented ✓ Patient consultation notes and consent documentation ✓ Insurance pre-authorization submitted ✓ Maxillofacial surgery referral prepared
