About Malocclusion

Malocclusion, commonly known as a 'bad bite,' refers to the misalignment of teeth and jaws, which can affect chewing, speech, and facial aesthetics. Dental surgery for malocclusion, often involving orthognathic surgery, is a specialized procedure performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons to correct severe skeletal discrepancies that cannot be fixed with braces alone. The surgery precisely repositions the upper jaw (maxilla), lower jaw (mandible), or both to achieve proper alignment, improve function, and enhance facial harmony. This comprehensive treatment is typically planned in coordination with orthodontic care (braces) for optimal, long-lasting results, addressing both health and cosmetic concerns.
