Orthognathic Surgical Case Planning & Documentation
Plan orthognathic surgery with cephalometric analysis and surgical sequencing
What You Can Do
You systematically evaluate orthognathic cases by interpreting cephalometric data, predicting surgical movements, and coordinating with surgical teams. Claude helps you develop presurgical decompensation plans, create surgical movement vectors, prepare patient education materials, and document treatment decisions for medicolegal protection—enabling confident surgical collaboration and informed patient consent.
Features
analyze skeletal relationships, jaw discrepancies, and vertical dimensions to identify surgical needs
calculate three-dimensional movement vectors and anticipate relapse patterns for Class II, Class III, open bite, and asymmetry cases
plan tooth positioning and decompensation phases to optimize surgical access and final occlusal outcomes
develop detailed movement plans and anchorage strategies to communicate with surgical partners
generate educational explanations of skeletal problems, surgical solutions, and treatment phases for informed consent
outline orthodontic finishing, retention strategies, and relapse monitoring after surgical correction
create comprehensive case records documenting diagnostic reasoning, treatment decisions, and expected outcomes
address concurrent periodontal, implant, and restorative considerations within surgical timelines
Example Output
Cephalometric Analysis Summary:
- ANB angle correction from +8° to +2° via bimaxillary advancement
- Vertical dimension assessment: posterior clockwise rotation indicated by SN-GoMe 38°
- Surgical recommendation: Maxillary advancement 8mm + mandibular advancement 6mm
Presurgical Decompensation Plan:
- Phase 1 (12 months): Leveling/alignment while decompensating maxillary molars +3mm relative to incisors
- Mandibular incisor proclination to 35° SN for Class III correction
- Create dental decompensation to expose true skeletal discrepancy
Patient Communication Document:
- "Your upper jaw is positioned 8mm too far back and your lower jaw is 6mm too far forward, creating your underbite"
- "Surgery will move both jaws into correct position; braces before and after surgery fine-tune your bite"
- "Treatment timeline: 12 months of pre-surgery braces, surgery, then 6-9 months of final positioning"
