The first series shows the dental and skeletal relations prior to treatment.
The second series shows the final position after completion of orthodontics prior to the first surgical procedure.
The third series shows the position of the bones following maxillary osteotomy.
The fourth series shows the vertical osteotomy of each mandibular ramus (left side), and the position of the jaws, including chin osteotomy, after the second surgical procedure.
Finally, the fifth series demonstrates the relation of the jaws after completion of post-surgical orthodontics.
