Jaw Surgery
Jaw Surgery, also known as Orthognathic Surgery, is a specialized procedure designed to correct irregularities of the jaw bones and improve both function and facial appearance. It helps address concerns such as misaligned jaws, difficulty in chewing, speech problems, facial imbalance, breathing issues, and jaw pain caused by structural abnormalities.
The procedure involves repositioning the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both to achieve proper alignment and better facial harmony. Jaw surgery not only improves the bite and function of the mouth but also enhances facial symmetry, profile, and overall confidence.
It is commonly recommended for patients with severe overbite, underbite, open bite, facial asymmetry, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues, or jaw-related breathing difficulties. The treatment plan is carefully customized based on facial structure, dental alignment, and functional needs.
One of the biggest advantages of jaw surgery is that it provides both functional improvement and aesthetic enhancement. It helps patients achieve better oral health, improved comfort, and a more balanced facial appearance for long-term results.
