A 17-year-old girl suffering from midfacial hypoplasia and retrognathia associated with isolated cleft palate (a, left). Postoperative situation shows a harmonic maxillo-mandibular relationship and markedly improved esthetic appearance (a, right). Visualizing the changes by fluid-dynamical non-linear registration displays the complex changes caused by the forward-downward displacement and clockwise maxillary-mandibular rotation (b, c). Red indicates displacements in the direction of the surface normal, and blue indicates displacements in the opposite direction of the surface normal. The visualization was obtained by using miaviewit.
