It refers to the planning of the patient's facial structure using computerized technology before orthognathic surgical interventions.
Virtual face planning involves processing and analyzing data about the patient's facial structure obtained using computed tomography (CT) or Cone Beam Computed Tomography (C.B.C.T.), 3D scanning of teeth and photographs through computer programs. This allows surgeons to examine the patient's facial structure in detail and plan the surgical intervention in advance. Being able to foresee the early bone contacts and anatomical constraints they will encounter during surgery in a virtual environment allows a less invasive approach to be adopted during surgery and helps the patient to have a more problem-free and faster postoperative recovery process. In addition, the images obtained with virtual face planning allow us to better explain the treatment plan to the patient.

They will receive an email with tracking information 1 to 2 business days after you send your prepared products.
The criteria that must be met for the patient to be ready for surgery are listed below:
- The upper and lower incisor angles should be within the ideal limits according to the occlusal plane to which they belong.
- Upper and lower arch dimensions should be compatible with each other.
- Upper and lower molar torques should be within ideal limits.
- Spee curves should be corrected.
- The lower dental midline should coincide with the skeletal midline of the lower jaw.
- The upper dental midline should be within ± 2mm of the facial midline.
- The molars must have been extracted at least 5-6 months before surgery.
- In cases where the upper jaw will be made in multiple parts, the archwire in the upper jaw should be divided into 3 parts at least 4 months before surgery.
- Tooth forms should be ideal. If necessary, missing tubercles should be completed prosthetically before full surgery.
- When the models are brought into occlusion, an ideal overjet and overbite relationship and maximum intercuspation should be achieved.
- The surgical arches should be fitted at least 1 month before the surgical procedure.
- It is recommended that patients with temporomandibular disorders should receive joint splint therapy and physiotherapy for at least 4-6 months before surgery.

Work Steps
Orthognathic Surgery Planning
Data Processing
We review the photos, videos, CBCT, intraoral scans and clinical examination form you upload to our website and create the virtual patient.
Initial Consultation
In our first online consultation, we discuss the patient in detail.
Plan
We perform surgical planning of the virtual patient we created.
Approval
We submit the final version of the Surgical Planning for your approval at our second consultation.
Production
We produce surgical splints on our three-dimensional printer.
Submission
We send the splints to the address you specify for you to try on your patient before surgery.
Preoperative Orthodontic Treatment Planning
Data Processing
We review the photos, radiographs, videos, intraoral scans and anamnesis forms you upload to our website.
Initial Consultation
In our first online consultation, we discuss the patient's case in detail.
Plan
We make orthodontic treatment planning.
Approval
We will present the final version of the plan for your approval at our second consultation.
Interim Records
We periodically review the model/intraoral scans and radiographs you send us.
Final Consultation
We make a final assessment of the patient who is ready for surgery before collecting their records.
