Steps of chin osteotomy using the surgical guide: (1) The first cut is made in the inclined groove at the opposite side of which the chin is deviated to. (2) The second cut is made along the outer edge of the same side. (3) In the third step, the horizontal cut is made.

Finally, the same bone strip is used for the filling of the gap that was formed on the opposite side
