"Potential complications include malocclusion, TMJ dysfunction or ankylosis, chronic pain, reduced mandibular range of motion, and facial asymmetry. Inadequately treated fractures can result in non-union or malunion, persistent open bite, and long-term functional impairment of mastication and speech 2,3."
"Early, coordinated maxillofacial surgical intervention and postoperative physiotherapy are important for restoring occlusion and TMJ function, and the prognosis is generally favourable when anatomic alignment and occlusion are re-established 3."
