Official Title: Dose Use of Rigid Fixation After Removing the Distraction Device Reduce the Anterior-posterior Relapse or Not?

Brief Summary: patients were enrolled by the inclusion criteria and were undergo lefort 1 maxillary osteotomy. after the latency phase the distraction was done in anterior- posterior vector. patients were divided by randomized allocation in 2 groups. in group 1 the distractor was removed after consolation phase, and in group 2 fixation devices were placed immediately after removal of distractors. data regarding relapse were analyzed by lateral cephalogram X-ray taken in 3 different phases of the trial. change of occlusal plane and the "A point" of the cephalometric analysis were determined as reference point of the study.
