abstract={The surgery-first approach (SFA) is a term used between orthodontists and surgeons for orthognathic surgery without presurgical orthodontic treatment. Over the past few decades, SFA has rapidly gained popularity since many young people undergo cosmetic surgery. Numerous articles and studies dealing with SFA concepts have been published globally in recent years. Nevertheless, many surgeons continue to use slightly different concepts and protocols since SFA is yet to be standardized. This literature review discusses current issues around SFA, including indication, contraindication, and limitation, compared with conventional treatment.},
