Serial lateral cephalograms and three‑dimensional scans obtained preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and at follow‑up (mean 1.4 years) were used to quantify total and regional pharyngeal airway volume changes and mandibular relapse, defined as sagittal point B displacement. Demographic characteristics, surgical movements including setback magnitude and SN-MP rotation, osteotomy type, genioplasty, treatment approach, and baseline airway dimensions were incorporated as covariates. Correlation analyses and multivariable linear regression assessed associations between airway changes and relapse while controlling for potential confounders.

There was no significant reduction in total airway volume immediately after surgery or at follow-up, and no significant mandibular relapse occurred. Also, no significant correlation was detected between airway changes and relapse in either immediate postoperative period or follow-up period, whereas greater mandibular setback independently predicted forward relapse (β = -0.64, P < 0.001).

Preplanned osteotomy lines were cut, and screw holes were drilled, simulating a Le Fort I osteotomy, and its accuracy was assessed by comparing pre- and postoperative computed tomography.
