Orthognathic Jaw Surgery
Orthognathic surgery is an advanced jaw procedure aimed at correcting skeletal discrepancies between the upper and lower jaws. It is performed in cases such as jaw deficiency or excess, facial asymmetry, bite problems, and aesthetic concerns. For skeletal jaw irregularities that cannot be corrected with orthodontic treatment alone, it offers a permanent and effective solution.
Prior to surgery, orthodontic treatment is used to align the teeth properly; then, the jawbones are surgically repositioned. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia in a hospital setting. In addition to improving facial aesthetics, significant enhancements are achieved in chewing, speaking, and breathing functions.
Orthognathic surgery requires a multidisciplinary treatment process coordinated by oral and maxillofacial surgeons and orthodontic specialists. At our clinic, this process is carefully managed through detailed planning and a patient-centered approach.
