摘要： The invention relates to a method for simulating an orthognathic operation, wherein, to simulate the displacement of the upper dental arch (105) of the patient caused by the surgical intervention to be applied to the maxilla (106) during said orthognathic surgery, the angular and translational position of an upper mounting plate (526) of a 3-D orthognathic surgery simulator (510) carrying a model (317) of said upper dental arch (105) is readjusted by rotating said upper mounting plate (526) around at least two, preferably three of three orthogonal axes X,Y and Z with respect to a rotation point (522) fixed to an arm (521) of said 3-D orthognathic surgery simulator (510), and translating said arm (521) substantially parallel to at least one of the same three orthogonal axes X,Y,Z.
