I can email you the full text article if you PM-me your email address, but here's the abstract. It's a peer reviewed journal so no place for skepticism. No one would risk their career and lie in a peer-reviewed journal over something like this.

The girl refused maxillary surgery because she and her surgeon feared alar flaring. Smart people. And this was back in 2010.
I think her result couldn't be better even with a bi-max.
I've seen many, many impressive cases during my research in the past few weeks.
But unfortunately, as I said before, too many surgeons and orthodontists are old school and do not keep up with new research. If my orthodontist was a bit smarter and cared, if he was ethical and kept up with research for the benefit of his patients, I wouldn't be in this situation now. I have many studies where TADs were used in cases of post-surgical complications as well.
However, an ethical orthodontist is really an oxymoron.
