Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, represents one of the most significant advances in facial reconstruction and functional improvement. This specialized surgical procedure addresses both aesthetic concerns and functional issues related to jaw alignment, breathing, and oral function.
What is Orthognathic Surgery?
Orthognathic surgery is a specialized procedure that involves correcting irregularities of the facial bones, particularly the jaws. This surgical intervention goes beyond cosmetic enhancement, focusing on improving both the functional aspects of your bite and your facial appearance. The procedure can involve the repositioning of your upper jaw (maxilla), lower jaw (mandible), or both, depending on your specific needs.
Key Benefits and Applications
The transformative effects of orthognathic surgery extend to several vital areas:
Functional Improvements
– Enhanced breathing capability, very important in particular in snoring and obstructive sleep apnea
– Improved speech and pronunciation
– Better chewing and biting function
– Reduced strain on jaw joints
Aesthetic Enhancements
– Balanced facial proportions
– Improved profile
– Corrected facial asymmetry
– Better smile aesthetics
– Enhanced overall facial harmony
