Corrective jaw surgery /orthognathic surgery, is a surgical procedure performed to correct abnormalities of the jawbones and malocclusion
Orthognathic surgery aims to improve the functional and aesthetic aspects of the jaw and facial structures, including the bite, chewing function, speech, facial symmetry, and overall facial harmony.
Orthognathic surgery may be recommended for individuals with various conditions, including:
-
Dentofacial Deformities such as underbites (prognathism), overbites (retrognathism), open bites, crossbites, and asymmetry of the jaws.
-
Malocclusion- where the upper and lower teeth do not fit together properly, may require orthognathic surgery to reposition the jaws and improve the alignment of the teeth.
-
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders that are not responsive to conservative treatments, such as medications, physical therapy, or splints.
-
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): In some cases, orthognathic surgery may be recommended to address obstructive sleep apnea by enlarging the airway and improving breathing during sleep.
-
To correct facial asymmetry caused by skeletal discrepancies between the right and left sides of the face.
