Abstract
- This study investigated the relationship between the direction of maxillary repositioning after Le Fort I osteotomy and changes in external nasal morphology using lateral cephalograms and frontal facial photographs. The results indicated greater changes in external nasal morphology, such as a more forward position of the nasal tip and an increased alar base width, with anterosuperior repositioning than with posterosuperior repositioning. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the external nasal morphology changes after Le Fort I osteotomy, and that the changes vary depending on the direction of maxilla repositioning.
