Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, is performed to realign the jaws and teeth to improve functionality, facial symmetry, and overall oral health. It is often done in combination with orthodontic treatment.
Why is it done?
To correct jaw misalignment or deformities
To address difficulty in chewing, biting, or speaking
To relieve pain from jaw joint disorders (TMJ)
To improve facial aesthetics in cases of prominent or receding jaws
To treat breathing problems such as sleep apnea caused by jaw structure
Who needs it?
Individuals with overbite, underbite, or crossbite not correctable by braces alone
Patients with facial imbalance or jaw asymmetry
Those suffering from chronic jaw pain, headaches, or TMJ dysfunction
People with obstructed airways or sleep apnea due to jaw position
Benefits:
Improved jaw function and bite alignment
Enhanced facial profile and overall appearance
Relief from jaw pain and improved speech clarity
Better breathing and reduced sleep apnea symptoms
Long-term correction of skeletal issues for better oral health
