Orthognathic Surgery
Articles and resources for Orthognathic Surgery in Maxillofacial and Dental Surgery.
Orthognathic surgery is a type of surgical procedure aimed at correcting irregularities in the jaw and facial structure. It is often considered for various reasons, including difficulties with chewing, speaking, or breathing, as well as to improve facial aesthetics. Conditions such as overbites, underbites, and jaw discrepancies can lead to functional and cosmetic concerns. This surgery may be recommended when orthodontic treatment alone cannot achieve the desired outcome.
The procedure typically involves repositioning the upper jaw (maxilla) and/or the lower jaw (mandible) to enhance alignment and function. Before surgery, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted, including imaging studies and consultations with dental specialists. The surgery itself is usually performed under general anesthesia and may require a hospital stay. Recovery involves a period of healing, during which patients may face dietary restrictions and follow-up appointments to monitor progress.
The benefits of orthognathic surgery can be significant, often leading to improved bite function, enhanced facial symmetry, and increased self-esteem. However, like any surgical procedure, it carries risks, including infection, nerve injury, and complications related to anesthesia. It is essential for patients to discuss these factors with their healthcare team to understand the potential outcomes and make informed decisions about their treatment.
