A Patient Guide to Orthognathic Surgery

This DVD has been produced in collaboration with the British Orthodontic Society to inform potential patients about Orthognathic Surgery. It presents the treatment process in a simplified way for ease of understanding. Incorporating 3D animations and interviews with patients, it describes what happens when, for how long, and the relevant implications. It has been designed and written specifically for patients and is intended to be used at home, enabling patients to discuss the procedure with their family, partners or friends.

Individual sections are accessed via menu screens so that relevant stages can easily be referred to at any time throughout the treatment.
