   Mandibular setback surgery is a surgical procedure performed along the occlusal plane to prevent bite opening on the anterior or posterior teeth and retract the lower jaw for both functional and aesthetic effects in patients with mandibular prognathism. [1] [2] It is an orthodontic surgery that is a form of reconstructive plastic surgery. [3]

5. Condylar resorption - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condylar_resorption

   Orthodontics can address malocclusion without surgery, but this is often unstable or compensatory, and fails to address the aesthetic impacts of condylar degeneration. Orthognathic surgery in conjunction with orthodontics may be done to reconstruct and stabilize the condyles and disc of the temporomandibular joint. However, this does not ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moebius_syndrome

   A patient that has not been able to close or swallow well probably will have an open bite, deficient lower-jaw growth, a narrow archform with crowded teeth, and upper anterior flaring of teeth. Orthognathic (jaw) surgery may be indicated. Genetic links to 13q12.2 [15] and 1p22 [16] have been suggested.
