Precise orthodontic pre-surgical decompensation is a critical prerequisite for optimal outcomes in orthognathic surgery. However, the relative effectiveness of completely customized lingual appliances (CCLAs) versus prefabricated vestibular multibracket appliances (PVMAs) remains insufficiently established....

- 01Retrospective cohort study comparing customized lingual (behind teeth) vs. prefabricated vestibular (front of teeth) orthodontic appliances.
- 02Evaluated pre-surgical orthodontic decompensation quality using the ABO eCRE digital tool.
- 03Published in Progress in Orthodontics — outside the audiology literature.
- 04No hearing-related outcomes, populations, or interventions.
- 05Inclusion in this audiology enrichment pipeline appears to be an error.
Digital evaluation with ABO eCRE can assess treatment quality of lingual and vestibular appliances in combined orthodontic-orthognathic therapy.
