Establishment of optimal mandibular incisor inclination: A retrospective comparison between surgery-first and conventional orthodontic approaches

Puntos clave

• This research aims to compare the effectiveness of surgery-first and conventional orthodontic approaches in achieving optimal mandibular incisor inclination.
• Conducted a retrospective analysis of mandibular incisor positions in two treatment groups: surgery-first approach (SFA) and conventional orthodontics (COS).
• Evaluated mandibular incisor decompensation effectiveness before surgery.
• Compared results to normative data for optimal inclusion.
• The COS group showed significantly better mandibular incisor decompensation.
• Values for the COS group were closer to normal parameters than those of the SFA group.
