Purpose: Orthognathic surgery not only corrects dentofacial deformities but also affects some vital structures involving voice production. The primary aim of this study was to analyze the effects of bimaxillary orthognathic surgery on voice characteristics of patients with class II and III skeletal deformities; the second aim was to evaluate possible associations among acoustic parameters, pharyngeal airway, and skeletal changes after surgery.
