• Customization in orthognathic surgery allows better precision and a reduced surgical time. In Le Fort I osteotomy surgery, the maxillary segmentation is considered one of the most unstable procedures due to transverse instability. Various different types of palatal device have been proposed to address this instability. This note describes a customized bone-borne palatal guide and splint that may help surgeons shorten the surgical time and achieve better three-dimensional repositioning, with more postoperative comfort for the patient and occlusal control for the surgeon.
