Double-jaw Orthogenetic Surgery
Double-jaw Orthogenetic Surgery, also known as Orthognathic surgery, is a dental procedure that involves the modification of the upper and lower jawbones to improve their alignment and bite functionality. This surgery is often used to correct conditions such as underbite, overbite, and crossbite that cannot be corrected through traditional orthodontic treatments. The procedure typically involves making several incisions in the jawbones to reposition them to their correct position. The bones are then secured in place with plates and screws, which help to stabilize the jawbones while they heal. In some cases, bone grafts may be required to help rebuild areas of the jaw that have been damaged. Once the surgery is complete, patients will typically need to wear braces for several months to ensure that their teeth are properly aligned. During this time, they will also need to follow a strict diet and practice good oral hygiene to ensure that their jawbones properly heal. Orthognathic surgery is often recommended for patients with severe jaw misalignment, as it can help improve their facial appearance and restore normal jaw function. It is also commonly used in conjunction with dental implants, as the procedure can help create a more stable foundation for the implants. In conclusion, if you are experiencing jaw alignment issues, orthognathic surgery may be the ideal solution for achieving proper bite functionality and improving your overall appearance. Contact your dentist to discuss your options and see if this procedure is the right choice for you.
