Mimics software was used to digitally simulate surgical plans and create guide plates for orthognathic surgery. The midsagittal plane, Frankfurt horizontal plane, and coronal plane of the perosseous nasion point served as reference planes to evaluate three-dimensional consistency between preoperative simulation designs and postoperative three-dimensional cranial models, specifically examining bilateral maxillary and mandibular canine cusps and mesiobuccal cusps of first molars. Distance differences between bilateral corresponding landmarks on postoperative models and the three reference planes were measured, asymmetry rates calculated, and the distance from pogonion to midsagittal plane measured to evaluate facial hard tissue symmetry after surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>No significant differences were observed between preoperative simulation designs and postoperative three-dimensional cranial models regarding the distances between bilateral corresponding landmarks and the three reference planes. Postoperatively, distance differences between bilateral corresponding landmarks and the three reference planes were \u2264\u20091\u00a0mm. Seventy-five percent of asymmetry rate indicators were less than 10%.
