Brief summary
To evaluate whether the use of augmented reality (AR) for visualizing 3D models can be a valuable addition to patient education regarding orthognathic procedures compared to using only 2D visualization (on a computer screen).

| Patient satisfaction | Immediately after the regular first intake consult | Patient satisfaction of the intake consult. Focussed on the explanation of the condition and proposed treatment, measured through a questionnaire. The questionnaire measures the clarity and importance of the information for the patient. For both parameters a median score will be calculated between 0 and 5 |
| Objective knowledge | Immediately after the regular first intake consult | Patient knowledge of the medical problem and proposed treatment, also measured by a questionnaire. Patient can get 2 points when all four question are right, if all questions are answered incorrectly, then -2 points |
