Surgical orthodontics has witnessed significant advancements over the last decade, with innovations spanning diagnostic imaging, virtual surgical planning (VSP), additive manufacturing, patient-specific implants (PSIs), navigation and augmented reality (AR), the surgery-first approach (SFA), aligner integration, airway-centered planning, and perioperative management strategies such as enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) and tranexamic acid (TXA). These developments collectively improve surgical accuracy, efficiency, stability, and patient-centered outcomes. This review synthesizes the current literature on seven key advances in surgical orthodontics, highlighting their clinical applications, limitations, and future research priorities.
