The integration of aligner therapy with orthognathic surgery has transformed the treatment landscape for skeletal malocclusions, offering patients and clinicians a more precise, predictable, and aesthetically favorable approach. This lecture explores the innovative synergy between clear aligners and orthognathic surgery, highlighting how advancements in digital treatment planning, virtual surgical simulations, and aligner customization are redefining pre- and post-operative orthodontic care. Key topics include leveraging aligner technology to optimize surgical outcomes, reduce treatment times, and enhance patient satisfaction through minimally invasive interventions. Clinical case studies will be presented to demonstrate the versatility of aligner-assisted orthognathic protocols in addressing complex skeletal discrepancies, including Class II and Class III malocclusions. Attendees will gain insights into the evidence-based benefits, practical workflows, and future directions of this paradigm-shifting approach in modern orthodontics.
