Previously, the 23-year-old patient from Da Nang had experienced chewing and swallowing difficulties because her upper and lower teeth did not touch each other.

After medical examination, the hospital’s doctors appointed orthopedic surgery for the female patient. After a 2-hour-lasting surgery, her health is in stable condition, and she can eat and chew normally.

According to Dr Tran Ngoc Quang Phi who is mainly in charge of the operation, this was a complicated surgery so the hospital’s orthopedic surgeons must use the digital pre-operative planning software to ensure that the patient's upper and lower jaws were put in the correct position during the surgery.
