%K and oral function. A scoring system a£¿£¿satisfaction scorea£¿£¿ was calculated by taking the average measure and converting it to a 100-point scale
%K where 0 is extremely dissatisfied and 100 is extremely satisfied. A paired Studenta£¿£¿s t-test was used to compare the satisfaction score mean measures at two time points (pre-treatment and post-treatment). Statistical significance was set at a p-value < 0.05. There was a statistically significant improvement in the satisfaction score of facial aesthetics between the pre-treatment and post-treatment periods in both males and females (p < 0.003 and p < 0.001
%K respectively). There was no improvement in the psycho- social satisfaction score in the post-treatment period in males (p < 0.343). However
%K a statistically significant improvement was found in females (p < 0.016) regarding psycho-social satisfaction. The oral function satisfaction score improved in both females and males (p < 0.042 and p < 0.001
%K respectively). Orthognathic surgery can have a positive effect on the QoL of the patient. A thorough discussion with the patient should occur in the pre-treatment phase to determine the patienta£¿£¿s motive and expectations. Orthognathic Surgery
