Case report demonstrates effective management of dentofacial deformities using aligners and custom plates, indicating improved outcomes.

This report aims to evaluate the use of clear aligners and patient-specific plates in orthognathic surgery for a periodontally compromised patient.
Patient with class III dentofacial deformity underwent periodontal therapy and dental rehabilitation.
Utilized clear aligners for initial orthodontic adjustments and employed customized osteosynthesis systems for the surgery.
Surgery performed with specific surgical guides, minimizing reliance on traditional splints.
Surgery completed without complications, showing stable skeletal results postoperatively.
No dental or periodontal deterioration observed after surgical intervention.
Combination of aligners and patient-specific plates proved effective for complex cases, optimizing outcomes.
