title: Two-step repositioning of the maxilla in bimaxillary orthognathic surgery.
abstract: A two-step repositioning system in bimaxillary osteotomies, a combination of a modified face-bow transfer and the use of an occlusal plane indicator is described. With this system, the risks involved in depending solely on reproduction of the model-constructed position can be avoided.
