Potential Complications and Management of SFOA

  • First Online:
Surgery-First Orthodontic Management

Abstract

A wide variety of complications can present itself whilst proceeding with ortho-orthognathic management, and SFOA is no exception. It is prudent to understand the orthodontics and surgery-related complications and formulate a risk management strategy in order to identify, assess, and implement an appropriate response in terms of prevention, acceptance, and transference of a complication. This chapter divides the complications encountered in SFOA into orthodontic and surgery challenges during the three phases of SFOA:

  1. 1.

    Pre-surgery phase.

  2. 2.

    Surgery phase.

  3. 3.

    Post-surgery phase.

Also, the chapter deals with evaluating the root cause of the complications and offering a suitable resolution to overcome the complications.

If I had an hour to solve a problem I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.

—Albert Einstein
