How to Use This Calculator
- Enter planned maxillary and mandibular movement amounts (mm) in all three dimensions.
- Enter genioplasty advancement or reduction (mm) if planned.
- Read soft tissue response predictions using established hard-to-soft-tissue ratios.
- Review profile change predictions to use in patient consultation and informed consent.
- Compare surgical prediction to VTO (visual treatment objective) for treatment plan verification.
What each input means
- Maxillary Advancement (mm)
- Positive = advancement, negative = setback. Le Fort I movement.
- Maxillary Impaction (mm)
- Positive = superior impaction (shortening), negative = inferior repositioning.
- Mandibular Advancement (mm)
- Positive = advancement, negative = setback. BSSO movement.
- Genioplasty AP Movement (mm)
- Positive = chin advancement, negative = setback.
- Genioplasty Vertical Change (mm)
- Positive = vertical reduction, negative = lengthening.
- Pre-Surgical ANB Angle (deg)
- Current ANB angle before surgery.
What each result means
- Upper Lip Change (mm)
- Predicted upper lip anteroposterior change.
- Lower Lip Change (mm)
- Predicted lower lip anteroposterior change.
- Soft Tissue Chin Change (mm)
- Predicted chin point soft tissue movement.
- Posterior Airway Change (mm)
- Estimated posterior airway space change.
- Predicted Post-Surgical ANB (deg)
- Estimated ANB angle after surgery.
- Total Lower Profile Change (mm)
- Combined lower lip and chin profile change.
- Expected Recovery (weeks)
- Estimated initial recovery period in weeks.
How this is calculated
Worked example, using the default values
- Identify Input Parameters4 parametersMaxillary Advancement (mm) = 0, Maxillary Impaction (mm) = 0, Mandibular Advancement (mm) = 0, Genioplasty AP Movement (mm) = 0 = 6 input(s) provided
- Calculate Upper Lip ChangeUpper Lip Change0 = 0
- Calculate Lower Lip ChangeLower Lip Change0 = 0
- Calculate Soft Tissue Chin ChangeSoft Tissue Chin Change0 = 0
