Abstract: Dentofacial orthopedists serve as guardians of facial development, capable of influencing the differential growth of craniofacial structures through growth modulation techniques, guiding them towards favorable outcomes. In cases where facial growth is complete in adult patients presenting with significant skeletal discrepancies, surgical repositioning of the jaws becomes the primary solution, a realm addressed by surgical orthodontics. The 'envelope of discrepancy' visually encapsulates current concepts regarding the extent of change achievable through different treatment modalities. Maxillomandibular surgeries encompass various procedures aimed at addressing these issues. Diagnosis and treatment planning are pivotal in surgical orthodontics, with cephalometric prediction tracing and mock surgery playing crucial roles in preoperative planning.
Keywords: Surgical Orthodontics, Envelope of Discrepancy, Prediction Tracing, Mock Surgery.
