Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of restorative orthognathic surgery on the quality of life of class III patients, the main causes of deformities, and to compare the quality of life after surgery, including functional, aesthetic and psychosocial aspects of these patients. Methods: this is a narrative review of the literature, carrying out a survey of scientific articles in the electronic databases of the Virtual Health Library (BVS) – BIREME and Scientific Electronic Library Online – SciELO. Results: 8 articles were selected that are arranged in a table, in which dentofacial alterations and class III myofunctional disorders, treatments, proposed diagnoses and nursing interventions, and quality of life were identified. Final Considerations: the correction of facial skeletal deformities and associated dental irregularities through restorative orthognathic surgery has a positive impact on the lives of patients through the harmonic improvement of facial skeletal bones, resulting in favorable facial aesthetics and an improvement in the functions of the stomatognathic system.
