Abstract: | A simple technique that relies on a fine wire to maintain vertical relationships of the maxilla during Le Fort I osteotomy is described. The advantages are (1) the hands of the assistant are free to help adapt plates, (2) it decreases the assistant's need to maintain a pose, and (3) the time of the operation decreases. |
