Computer-aided surgical simulation has greatly enhanced the efficiency and accuracy of orthognathic surgery for correction of dentofacial deformities. Virtual surgical planning (VSP) improves the efficiency of the presurgical work-up and provides an opportunity to illustrate the multidimensional correction at the dental and skeletal level. VSP provides preoperative insight into the surgical intervention and the fabrication of cutting jigs/guides and templates can help decrease intraoperative surgical inaccuracies. VSP is rapidly becoming the standard of care for surgical treatment planning of dentofacial deformities.
