Relapse<\/strong> is a fear commonly expressed by patients who undergo any surgery. In the case of orthognathic surgery<\/strong><\/a>, there are mainly two types:<\/p>\n

1- Dental relapse<\/strong>, when there is a change in the position of the teeth after surgery \u2014 this type of recurrence is the most common.
\n2- Skeletal relapse<\/strong>, when there is a change in the position of the bones- this type of recurrence is exceptional and, if it occurs, is usually too small to be considered functionally or aesthetically relevant (between 1 to 3mm)<\/p>\n

Dental relapse is easily treatable with orthodontic treatment<\/strong>. Skeletal relapse<\/strong> occurs due to remodeling of the bones due to the muscular tensions that act on them. If this happens during the first weeks after surgery (when the bones have not yet ‘welded’ in their new position), revision surgery is indicated<\/strong>, which is done on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia and sedation.<\/p>\n

There are also external causes for relapse<\/strong>, such as displacement of the plates caused by trauma, and causes inherent to the patien<\/strong>t, such as poor healing capacity, bone weakness or TMJ disorders, which cause a greater degree of occlusal instability in the patients who suffer from them.<\/p>\n

It is also important to bear in mind that correct planning and execution of the surgery produce more stable results over time<\/strong>:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
