Imaging tests in the assessment of the upper airways in orthognathic surgery
The treatment of type II and III malocclusion sometimes requires orthognathic surgery. Such a technique is able to correct dento-skeletal deficiencies, restore facial harmony and occlusion, but it can also directly boost the anatomy of the upper airways. The aim of this literature review was to evaluate the effects of orthognathic surgery on the upper airways and the imaging tests that can be used to visualize the area.
