ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY

Orthognathic surgery, or jaw surgery, is a procedure designed to correct misalignments of the upper and lower jaws. It’s often necessary when orthodontics alone can’t address issues like difficulty chewing, speaking, or breathing, or when there are congenital jaw defects. This surgery can improve both function and appearance by realigning the jaws to create a more balanced bite and facial symmetry. Typically performed by oral surgeons, it requires a combination of pre-surgical orthodontics and post-surgery care. The results can significantly enhance quality of life, offering better oral function, a more attractive profile, and improved self-confidence.
