Abstract
Recent digital technological advancements in orthodontics have streamlined the surgery-first
orthognathic approach (SFOA). Currently, it is established that simulation of complex
surgical movements can be done digitally. However, there is lack of clarity on clinical
protocols employed in Clear Aligner Treatment (CAT) for the management of Surgery-First
Orthognathic Approach (SFOA). The primary objective of this article is to provide
an, in-depth, answer to this question. This is a first-of-its-kind article that effectively
utilizes clinical scenarios and case reports to meticulously describe the requirements
of presurgical orthodontics, protocols during surgery, and post-surgery commencement
of aligner-orthodontics in three dimensions (transverse,vertical and sagittal), along
with clinical tips, dos, and don'ts.
