The pooled estimate demonstrated a significant increase of 1.82 mm in upper lip protrusion, a significant retrusion of 3.14 mm in the lower lip, and a backward movement of the chin by 4.8 mm in patients treated with miniplate-anchored orthopaedic facemask (FM/MP) compared to the untreated group. However, no significant difference was found between FM/RME and FM/MP, except for a noticeable decrease in the nasolabial angle in the FM/RME group. The analysis of FM/Alt-RAMEC versus FM/RME did not reveal any difference in soft tissue outcomes, except for the upper lip protrusion.
