Abstract: Combined orthodontic and orthognathic surgical treatment is often used to correct skeletal malocclusion. The treatment process is divided into orthodontic first or surgery first, the latter can better meet patients' expectation due to the rapid change of face shape. However, some deficiencies restrict the extensive use of surgery first approach. With the development of digital technology, disadvantages of surgery first approach are gradually being improved. This research will elaborate on the development of surgery first approach, introduce our improved fully digital “accurate tooth-bone movement surgery first approach”, and put forward new indications and treatment strategies.

Key words: precise orthognathic surgery, digital orthodontic, surgery first approach, joint orthognathic and orthodontic treatment, dento-maxillofacial deformities
