For successful surgery-first approach, accurate prediction of skeletal and dental changes following orthognathic surgery is essential. With recent development of digital technology using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, attempts to provide more predictable orthodontic/orthognathic treatment have been made through 3D virtual surgery and digital tooth setup. A clinical protocol for the surgery-first orthognathic approach using virtual surgery is proposed. A case of skeletal Class III patient with facial asymmetry treated by the surgery-first approach using digital setup and virtual surgery is presented. Advantages and limitations of applying CAD/CAM technology to orthognathic surgery are discussed.
