About Dental Orthognathic Surgery

Dental Orthognathic Surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, is a specialized procedure performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons to correct a wide range of skeletal and dental irregularities of the jaw and face. This surgery aims to improve function, such as chewing, speaking, and breathing, while also enhancing facial aesthetics and symmetry. It involves carefully planned surgical repositioning of the upper jaw (maxilla), lower jaw (mandible), or both. The procedure is often combined with orthodontic treatment (braces) to achieve optimal bite alignment and facial balance. It is a transformative solution for conditions that cannot be corrected with orthodontics alone, significantly improving a patient's quality of life.
