abstract: The authors describe five cases of surgical correction of dysmorphisms of the maxillaries requiring orthodontic treatment before surgery. Pre-operative orthodontic treatment of the adult has the advantage of enabling the arches to be aligned, facilitating the operation when the osteotomized fragments are positioned and resulting in immobilisation in a good position.
