The fundamental principles and the role of surgeons and orthodontists to produce successful results in orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic surgery is not different from those of conventional procedures and FOS: surgery-first-orthodontic-treatment-later approach. The communication and cooperation between surgeon and orthodontist is of crucial importance. In FOS, the pre-surgical orthodontic preparation is not carried out in the patient’s mouth, but in the mounted stone model and in addition to the simulation of tooth movement, to get a precise surgical occlusion, the entire steps of treatment should be simulated on the articulator as well. Right after the surgery, due to the instability of the occlusion, appropriate post operational care should be given according to the surgical technique applied to the mandible by use of final surgical wafer about 8 weeks.
