In this paper, an orthognathic surgery support system, in which a beauty score of postoperative profile is considered, is proposed. In ordinary operation planning, a beauty score is estimated from predictive postoperative profile. However, it is difficult to predict the postoperative profile with accuracy. In the proposed system, classification maps for preoperative profile and hard tissue movement are constructed using self-organizing maps, and reasonable hard tissue movement can be estimated by observing these two maps.
