3D computer planning for jaw surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a full 3D computer-assisted approach helps better diagnose and correct jaw and facial deformities during orthognathic surgery. It may benefit patients who need surgery to realign their jaws.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a jaw or facial bone deformity (dentoskeletal dysmorphia).
- You are scheduled to have orthognathic (jaw) surgery.
- You are between 18 and 60 years old at the time of surgery.
- You agree to participate and sign a consent form.
- You have not had other facial surgeries during the treatment period.

This trial tests a new digital method for planning jaw surgery that uses virtual guides instead of traditional splints. It may help make surgery more precise and reduce discomfort.
This study looks at how the way the upper jaw is positioned during corrective jaw surgery affects the joint's healing over time. It may help people with a specific type of underbite who are already planning to have both upper and lower jaw surgery.
This trial uses eye-tracking to measure how people look at faces after jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery). It is designed to help researchers understand changes in social attention following the procedure.
This trial tests a new way to predict how facial soft tissues will change after jaw surgery using advanced imaging. It may help people needing orthognathic surgery to understand the likely aesthetic outcome.
This study tests a new way to plan jaw surgery using 3D computer models, custom guides, and plates. It may help people with a certain type of jaw misalignment get more precise results from their surgery.
This trial tests whether using a handheld 3D scanner is as accurate as a standard optical scanner for predicting soft tissue changes after corrective jaw surgery. It aims to find a more convenient and accessible way to plan surgery for patients with an underbite.
