abstract: The Dentofacial Deformity Program of the University of Michigan was established in 1984 to provide a consulting service for the diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and management of patients with dentofacial deformities. This program was designed as a service commitment for the patient, referring doctors, and the medical and dental communities. Educational and research aspects of the program provide benefits for orthodontic and oral and maxillofacial surgery graduate students, and the dental school faculty. The organization, data analysis, and education, research, and service benefits of this program are discussed.
