[Fundamental elements of maxillofacial orthodontics in the treatment of sagittal maxillo-mandibular disproportions].
The entire cephalometric parameters and specially the alveolar inclinations have to be taken into account, while treating skeletal sagittal discrepancies. In fact, they are either compensatory and should be kept as, or aggravating the basal bone discrepancies, manifesting a neuro-muscular imbalance and complicating remarkably the prognosis. In order to maintain the morphological results, the anatomical corrections have to take into account the neuro-muscular balance concerning position, function and tonicity. That is the concept which provides satisfactory surgical, orthopedic and natural results. We think that the goals of these treatments should not be limited to esthetic or standardized criteria. They have to be achieved in respect to this functional concept and absolutely adapted to each patient.
