The scientific foundations for the art of changing facial appearance and improving orofacial function through orthognathic surgery were laid, and the value of treatment to improve lives is undisputed. The main treatment objective is currently not limited to achieving short-term improved occlusal function but also enhanced facial aesthetics and an open airway. Orthognathic surgery requires the combined skills of the specialities of orthodontics and oral and maxillofacial surgery; however, there remain major limitations relating to the uneven geographical distribution of experienced dedicated clinicians and financial barriers to the correction of dentofacial deformities. The treatment of some malocclusions combined with mild skeletal disharmony is possible by orthodontic compensation of the dentition with compromised facial aesthetics. Borderline cases therefore require meticulous assessment before finally deciding on orthodontic treatment alone or a combination of orthodontics and surgery as treatment approach. .This paper presents the use of video imaging techniques in the planning and execution of comprehensive functional and aesthetically orientated orthodontic and surgical treatment
