3 piece lefort opens gaps in the teeth that will need to be closed with postop braces right?Yeah, that's a 3-piece segmental Lefort that expands the palate and whatever the part that the teeth are attached to is called.
Lower jaw widening - the kind that people here are getting - doesn't expand the part of the mandible that the teeth are attached to.

No, I don't believe so. Maybe really minor ones just because of surgical imprecision. But in theory it shouldn't push teeth apart like SARPE or MSE because it just hinges the pieces outward. They can do 2-piece Lefort, too. That's what Safi recommended for me. I don't know why they do one over the other, regarding 2-piece vs 3-piece.3 piece lefort opens gaps in the teeth that will need to be closed with postop braces right?
