The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether using three dimensional (3D)-printed anatomical models improves the informed consent process for participants undergoing orthognathic surgery. The trial also explores how these models affect participants understanding, anxiety, satisfaction, and communication with the surgeon. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do 3D-printed anatomical models improve participants understanding of their jaw condition and the surgical procedure? * Do they reduce participants anxiety before surgery? * Do they enhance overall participants satisfaction and the physician-patient relationship? Researchers compares participants who received standard two dimensional (2D) imaging and verbal explanations with those who received the same information plus 3D-printed jaw models. Participants: * Scheduled for double- or triple-jaw orthognathic surgery * Randomly assigned to receive either traditional 2D education or the 3D-printed model intervention * Complete a validated questionnaires assessing understanding, anxiety, satisfaction, and doctor-patient communication

Two standardized 3D-printed anatomical models were created-one representing skeletal Class II and the other skeletal Class III. Simulated osteotomies, including Le Fort I and Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomies, were performed on the models to demonstrate surgical movements. These models are used to help patients visualize the procedures planned for their specific cases.
Two-dimensional images generated from virtual surgical planning-one depicting a Class II skeletal deformity and the other a Class III malocclusion-are used to illustrate the patient's condition and demonstrate the anticipated surgical movements.

RECRUITINGPatient understanding
Patient comprehension scores of their jaw condition, planned surgical procedures (Le Fort I, bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, and genioplasty), potential complications, expected outcomes, and the overall consent process, measured by a structured questionnaire at the time of consent.
Time frame: Baseline
Anxiety level
Patient anxiety levels related to orthognathic surgery, as measured by the validated Arabic version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), a 20-item self-administered questionnaire.
Time frame: Baseline
Patient-doctor relationship
Scores for quality of communication and trust between patient and surgeon, as measured by the Arabic version of the Patient-Doctor Relationship Questionnaire (PDRQ-9).
Time frame: Baseline
Patient Satisfaction
Patient satisfaction scores regarding the consultation and informed consent process, as measured by the validated Arabic version of the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ-18).
Time frame: Baseline
