Overcoming Complexities in Cleft Care: An Invitation to Orthognathic Surgery Webinar Series

Cleft care requires a multidisciplinary approach where precision dictates long-term functional and aesthetic outcomes. In honor of July’s National Cleft Awareness Month, Meticuly is proud to partner with Naresuan University to host our 4th clinical webinar: "Overcoming Challenges in Cleft Orthognathic Surgery with Patient-Specific Implants."

This specialised session is designed for clinicians looking to integrate cutting-edge digital workflows into complex reconstructive cases.

The Clinical Orthognathic Surgery Complexity of Cleft Reconstruction

Managing severe skeletal discrepancies in patients with a history of cleft lip and palate represents one of the most technically demanding landscapes within jaw surgery.

Achieving functional stability, airway adequacy, and facial symmetry through Orthognathic Surgery requires navigating compromised bone volume, scar tissue from childhood repairs, and altered vascular patterns. To overcome these limitations, modern treatment paradigms must seamlessly bridge orthodontic goals with the anatomical realities of the patient.

Webinar Takeaways: What You Will Learn

This webinar explores how modern digital tools and advanced additive manufacturing elevate the predictability of complex jaw corrections. Key learning objectives include:

• Orthodontic-Surgical Synergy: Best practices for synchronising orthodontic decompensation with complex skeletal advancement and repositioning.

• The Power of VSP: A deep dive into the clinical integration of Virtual Surgical Planning combined with a 3D-printed Patient-Specific Implant to eliminate intraoperative trial-and-error.

• Evidence-Based Case Studies: An analysis of real-world cleft reconstructions showcasing improved structural stability, shortened operating times, and highly predictable aesthetic outcomes.
