Effect of stabilization of a bilateral sagittal split on orthodontic finishing after mandibular setback: a case for bicortical fixation.

Abstract

Patients with Class III occlusal patterns often have maxillary and mandibular skeletal components to their malocclusions. A bilateral sagittal split that is rigidly fixed with 2 bicortical screws and a monocortical plate will produce excellent occlusal and skeletal results when the 2 components of the deformity are addressed.
