All 3-force application points included the center of resistance, which allowed an optimal control on the resulting moment. A novel device for skeletal long-term retention into the nasal dorsum prevented a relapse, whereas adjustment of the midface position was observed. Fusioned three-dimensional computed tomography analysis revealed real movements not accessible by a conventional cephalometry.}, subject = {Mund-Kiefer-Gesichts-Chirurgie}, language = {en} }
