Abstract

Objective

Surgical orthodontic treatment leads to morphological, functional and psychological changes in patients with jaw deformities. For the evaluation of outcomes of surgical orthodontic treatment from the patient's point of view, a questionnaire survey was performed after treatment and factors affecting patient satisfaction were examined.

Methods

A survey by mailing questionnaires that each consisted of 30 items was conducted in 250 patients with jaw deformities who underwent orthognathic surgery in our department during the period from January 2015 to December 2020. Eighty-four patients responded (response rate of 34.0 %). The patients who responded included 24 males and 60 females. The mean age at the time of surgery was 26 years.

Results

Fifty-four patients complained of morphological abnormalities such as facial appearance and malocclusion, and 30 patients complained of functional disturbances such as masticatory disabilities. Eighty-two patients were satisfied with the outcome of surgery, but there were two patients with postoperative paresthesia and residual facial asymmetry who were not satisfied with the outcome. Improvements were observed in mastication and pronunciation in 74 and 46 patients, respectively. Psychologically, 26 patients showed positive personality changes postoperatively. Thirty-three patients had TMJ symptoms before surgery, and the symptoms were resolved after surgery in 24 of those patients. Two patients developed snoring during sleep after surgery.
