Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, is a specialized procedure designed to treat skeletal and dental irregularities in the upper or lower jaw. At Qairydent, our expert oral and maxillofacial surgeons perform this procedure to improve both function and aesthetics, helping patients achieve a more balanced facial structure and a healthier bite. Whether you experience difficulty chewing, speaking, or breathing due to jaw misalignment, this surgery offers a long-term solution to restore comfort and confidence.
Jaw misalignment can lead to a variety of functional and aesthetic concerns. Many patients suffer from severe overbite, underbite, or crossbite, which can make it challenging to eat properly and may even cause speech difficulties. Others may experience chronic jaw pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, or obstructive sleep apnea, which affects breathing and overall health. Orthognathic surgery corrects these issues by repositioning the jawbones to their ideal alignment, ensuring a harmonious balance between the teeth, jaw, and facial structure.
The treatment process begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including X-rays, 3D scans, and digital models, to create a highly personalized surgical plan. In most cases, pre-surgical orthodontic treatment is necessary to align the teeth properly before surgery. The surgical procedure itself is performed under general anesthesia, where the jawbones are carefully reshaped and repositioned. Our advanced surgical techniques ensure precision, minimize discomfort, and promote a smooth recovery.
Post-surgical care is a crucial part of the healing process. Patients typically follow a soft diet and are given personalized aftercare instructions to aid in recovery. While swelling and mild discomfort are expected in the first few weeks, most patients return to normal activities within a few months. Over time, they experience significant improvements in both function and facial aesthetics, leading to increased confidence and overall well-being.
