Key Points

  • This research aims to compare the effectiveness of surgery-first and conventional orthodontic approaches in achieving optimal mandibular incisor inclination.
  • Conducted a retrospective analysis of mandibular incisor positions in two treatment groups: surgery-first approach (SFA) and conventional orthodontics (COS).
  • Evaluated mandibular incisor decompensation effectiveness before surgery.
  • Compared results to normative data for optimal inclusion.
  • The COS group showed significantly better mandibular incisor decompensation.
  • Values for the COS group were closer to normal parameters than those of the SFA group.

Abstract

The COS group demonstrated more effective mandibular incisor decompensation and achieved values closer to the norm than the SFA group. These findings suggest that presurgical orthodontics is essential for achieving optimal incisor inclination, and clinicians should carefully consider the need for sufficient decompensation when planning treatment with the SFA approach.
