Abstract
Le Fort I positioning is remarkably accurate contrary to the sagittal split. Using Le Fort I osteotomy first and mandibular sagittal split second has for drawback to perpetuate the errors of the sagittal split. The reverse order, beginning with the mandible, allows correction of sagittal split mistakes with the Le Fort I osteotomy. So it seems that the latter order is more logical and preferable.
