	Abstract

As clinicians we are becoming increasingly careful in our pre-treatment screening processes and in acknowledging the importance of psychological assessment of potential orthognathic patients. However, this does not necessarily guarantee post-treatment satisfaction, even if the clinician thinks the clinical outcome is good. This paper provides the clinician with a schematic framework of those factors which may affect post-treatment outcomes.

Key words: Orthognathic treatment, Outcomes, Psychology, Satisfaction
