Abstract: Orthognathic surgery can be extremely useful in management of patients with complex malocclusions. It can benefit the patients by treating the esthetic and functional deformities. The collaboration between orthodontists and oral surgeons is crucial in obtaining optimal results for such complicated cases. The timing of the treatment and the age of the patient at the time of treatment play an important role in determining the type of treatment. This review discusses the different types of malocclusions in which the patient can be treated with conventional mechanics if presented during growing period and surgical management if presented after the growth is completed. Furthermore, the review describes the recent introduction of mini-screws and the non-surgical methods that can be used to treat complex malocclusions for adult patients.
