Abstract
It is reported that the orthognathic patients suffer from not only aesthetic problems but also resonance disorder and articulation disorder because of the abnormality of the oral cavity. These disorders have an influence on the patients' communication and they are usually required to be corrected by orthognathic surgery. Speech of the orthognatic patients is affected by the change of the oral cavity capacity and structures after surgery. This study was designed to investigate the resonance of nasality and the intelligibility of speech for acoustic characteristics of speech for pre and post orthognatic surgery patients.
