A COMBINED PLANNING APPROACH FOR IMPROVED FUNCTIONAL AND ESTHETIC OUTCOME OF BIMAXILLARY ROTATION ADVANCEMENT FOR TREATMENT OF OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA USING 3D BIOMECHANICAL MODELING.

A combined planning approach for improved functional and esthetic outcome of bimaxillary rotation advancement for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea using 3D biomechanical modeling.

In recent years, bimaxillary rotation advancement (BRA) has become the method of choice for surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).As dislocation of the jaw bones affects both, airways and facial contours, surgeons are facing the challenge of finding an optimal jaw position that allows for the reestablishment of normal airway ventilati
