This study aimed to explore the changes in hard tissue after applying invisible orthodontic-orthognathic treatment and the digital design, and to explore the accuracy of the treatment effect of maxillofacial tissue after invisible orthodontic treatment and orthognathic treatment. From September 2020 to January 2022, 25 patients with class III skeletal malocclusion and 7 patients with class II skeletal malocclusion, were treated with invisible orthodontic treatment and orthognathic combined treatment. Orthodontic treatment with preoperative invisible orthodontic treatment followed by orthodontic surgery. All patients had cephalometric lateral films after surgery to analyze orthognathic surgery's goals and surgical effects of orthognathic surgery and the digital design. Measure the angle of the sella-nasion-A point angle, angle of sella-nasion-B point, ANB angle, maxillary convex angle, mandibular plane (MP) angle, 1-SN angle, 1-MP angle, etc, and compare surgery outcome with digital design. All patients were satisfied with the effect and no complications occurred. Angle of sella-nasion-A point, angle of sella-nasion-B point, ANB angle, maxillary convex angle, MP angle, 1-SN angle, and 1-MP angle had no significant difference between the postoperative effect and the purpose of digital design ( P >0.05), there was no apparent deviation between the upper and lower jaw and the chin ( P >0.05). The combined invisible orthodontic treatment and orthognathic treatment are accurate and effective, and are worthy of promotion. It supplements traditional orthognathic therapy and is suitable for corresponding patients.
