Orthognathic Jaw Surgery

Orthognathic jaw surgery is a corrective dental procedure that is commonly recommended for individuals with severe jaw deformities, such as misaligned or disproportionate jaws. The procedure involves the realignment of the upper and lower jaws, which helps to improve chewing and speaking, as well as improve the overall appearance of the face. Orthognathic jaw surgery is typically performed by an oral surgeon and may involve the use of orthodontic appliances, such as braces, to help prepare the teeth for the surgery. During the procedure, the surgeon will reposition the jawbones and secure them in place using small titanium plates and screws. The recovery process for orthognathic jaw surgery can vary depending on the extent of the procedure, but generally involves a few days of hospitalization and several weeks of restricted diet and activity. Patients may also need to wear a temporary splint or rubber bands to help stabilize their jaws during the recovery period. In addition to helping improve the functional aspects of the jaw, such as chewing and speaking, orthognathic jaw surgery can also have a positive impact on a person's self-confidence and overall quality of life. By improving the appearance of the jaw and face, individuals may feel more comfortable smiling, speaking, and interacting with others. Overall, orthognathic jaw surgery is a proven and effective treatment option for individuals suffering from severe jaw deformities or malocclusions. If you are considering this procedure, it is important to consult with an experienced oral surgeon who can help evaluate your needs and develop a customized treatment plan to help you achieve optimal results.
