Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP): Enhancing Outcomes, Reducing Risks
Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) can simulate the entire surgical procedure in a virtual environment, allowing for precise planning and prediction of outcomes.
Digital orthognathic surgery represents a significant advancement in the field of maxillofacial surgery. By leveraging advanced imaging and planning technologies, surgeons can achieve highly precise and predictable outcomes, enhancing both the functional and aesthetic results for patients Through precise cephalometric analyses.
