Abstract

The Orthognathic Surgery Simulating Instrument is valuable for the presurgical evaluation of patients with dentofacial deformity asymmetry. The case report presents the use of the instrument in the presurgical workup of a patient with a severe facial asymmetry. Advantages over the use of a conventional articulator are also discussed.
