Custom patient-specific plates to correct a tilted upper jaw

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, single-arm clinical project enrolling eight adults with maxillary cant and facial asymmetry who will undergo high-resolution CT imaging and 3D virtual surgical planning. Custom patient-specific titanium plates and cutting guides will be designed from the virtual plan and used during LeFort I osteotomy to reposition the maxilla. Postoperative CT scans will be compared to the preoperative virtual plan to quantify how closely the surgical result matches the planned correction, and participants will report satisfaction with appearance. Participants will be followed for up to six months to monitor healing and outcomes.
