Jaw Surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, involves surgical procedures to correct abnormalities of the jaw and facial skeleton. It aims to improve functionality and aesthetics by realigning the jaws and correcting bite issues.
Procedure: Jaw surgery typically involves making incisions inside the mouth or along the jawline to reposition the upper and/or lower jaw. The bones are secured with plates, screws, or wires to ensure proper alignment. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
Benefits:
Improved Functionality: Corrects bite issues, improves chewing, and addresses speech problems associated with jaw misalignment.
Enhanced Aesthetics: Can improve facial symmetry and appearance by realigning the jaws and correcting facial imbalances.
Long-Term Results: Provides lasting improvements in jaw function and facial aesthetics.
Jaw surgery is a comprehensive solution for addressing complex jaw and bite issues, offering both functional and cosmetic benefits.
