Orthognathic Surgery
From digital plan to fixation, our integrated workflow combines Personalized Solutions, Standard+ implants and instruments, and the intuitive Mimics Enlight CMF orthognathic planner. Designed for both conventional and minimally invasive (MIOS) approaches, our portfolio of surgical splints, guides, and implants gives you the support to plan and perform double‑jaw surgeries with greater accuracy, predictability, and patient safety.
Benefits
Accuracy and predictability
Achieve highly accurate and predictable surgical results with personalized, 3D-printed titanium guides and plates designed to ensure a precise fit and stable fixation, even through minimal access.
Comprehensive portfolio of CMF Solutions
Access all your orthognathic solutions from a single partner by combining Materialise Personalized Solutions with our Standard+ Solutions portfolio for maximum flexibility across conventional and MIOS approaches.
Standard+ Solutions: adjustable S-plate
The S-plate offers the unique advantage of allowing occlusion adjustment in real-time once the osteosynthesis procedure has been completed.
Exceptional service, personalized to your preference
Collaborate with local clinical engineers throughout the planning process to get the best possible outcome. Partner with the same expert throughout the case.
Product highlights
Personalized CMF solutions
Transfer your plan to the OR with personalized guides, plates, splints, and onlay implants — designed for accuracy in both standard and minimally invasive approaches. Options include adjustable S‑plates, high‑precision 3D‑printed splints, and implants in 3D‑printed titanium or milled PEEK.
Standard+ Solutions
Seamlessly carry your personalized workflow into orthognathic procedures with ready‑to‑use plates, screws, instruments, and trays. The S‑plate supports semi‑rigid osteosynthesis, Orthognathics+ adds plates for MIOS Le Fort I procedures, and the 90° screwdriver facilitates intraoral access and screw placement in minimally invasive workflows.
3D planning with a clinical engineer
Plan complex orthognathic cases with confidence using Mimics‑based workflows and the orthognathic planner in Mimics Enlight CMF, together with a Materialise clinical engineer. Leverage 3D visualization, design validation, and collaborative tools for faster surgical planning.
Workflow
1. Patient scan
Upload the patient’s (CB)CT scan and dental information to Mimics Flow
2. Interactive planning
A clinical engineer contacts you to participate in an interactive online planning session to define the surgical plan.
3. Design approval
Review the surgical plan and device design online in 3D on the Mimics Viewer
4. Production of splints, guides, and implants
Your orthognathic splints, surgical guides, and custom jaw implants are 3D printed within our certified quality management system.
5. Surgery
Use the delivered patient-specific implants and instruments in surgery to reach accurate and predictable results.
Clinical evidence
Learn which facts back up our claims and discover the state-of-the-art research supporting additive manufacturing for CMF.
The use of a personalized guide & plate provides more accurate maxillary repositioning during bimaxillary surgery than the use of an intermediate splint.
Comparison of the Accuracy of Maxillary Positioning With Interim Splints Versus Patient-Specific Guides and Plates in Executing a Virtual Bimaxillary Surgical Plan (2022)
All surgical movements were within 2 mm (93% within 1mm) and 4° of the planned movements, which is considered clinically insignificant.
Accuracy of maxillary repositioning surgery using CAD/CAM customized surgical guides and fixation plates. (2020)
Materialise Personalized Solutions for maxillary repositioning have a very high accuracy in transferring the preoperative plan into reality, especially in the vertical dimension.
Clinical accuracy of waferless maxillary positioning using customized surgical guides and patient specific osteosynthesis in bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. (2017)
The S plate reduces surgical time when occlusion is not perfect at release step and avoids to tolerate any approximation on the occlusion at the end of the surgery
Study of the mechanical reliability of an S-shaped adjustable osteosynthesis plate for bilateral sagittal split osteotomies. Study on 15 consecutive cases (2018)
