What is the difference between orthognathic surgery for bite correction versus orthognathic surgery for OSA?

0

Orthognathic surgery for sleep apnea is not the same as for bite correction. When the procedure is done for OSA, the surgeon typically plans to advance the jaws a minimum of 10mm or more. This is not always the situation with bite correction cases, which may or may not need an advancement as aggressive as this.
