Orthognathic correction procedures are surgical treatments designed to correct issues with jaw alignment, which can affect both function and aesthetics. These procedures are typically recommended for patients with severe bite problems, such as overbites, underbites, or jaw discrepancies that cannot be resolved with braces alone.
The surgery involves repositioning the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both to achieve a more functional and aesthetically balanced bite. Orthognathic surgery is often performed in conjunction with orthodontic treatment, which helps align the teeth before and after surgery.
Orthognathic correction procedures can significantly improve a patient's ability to chew, speak, and breathe while also enhancing facial appearance. Recovery typically involves a period of rest and follow-up care to ensure the jaw heals correctly.
This procedure can have a transformative effect on both dental function and appearance, making it an important option for patients with complex jaw alignment issues.
