Type I	Transverse fracture separating body of maxilla from pterygoid plate and nasal septum^[1] Only hard palate and teeth move (when rock hard palate while stabilizing forehead)			Stable
Type II	Pyramidal fracture through central maxilla and hard palate Movement of hard palate and nose occurs, but not the eyes			Can be stable or unstable fracture
Type III	Craniofacial dysjunction (fracture through frontozygomatic sutures, orbit, nose, ethmoids) Entire face shifts with globes held in place only by optic nerve) Dish face deformity on lateral view			Unstable	Type IV	Le Fort III plus involvement of frontal bone	Unstable
