Orthognathic Surgery-quickly improve your facial appearance?
What is Orthognathic Surgery?
Orthognathic surgery is a surgical procedure used to treat incorrect jaw alignment and facial asymmetry. This surgery aims to improve the bite and facial appearance by adjusting the position and relationship of the upper and lower jaw bones. Orthognathic surgery is a comprehensive treatment plan designed to enhance oral function, improve facial aesthetics, and boost patient confidence.
Orthognathic surgery is typically used for the following conditions:
- Jaw Misalignment: Incorrect positioning or misalignment of the upper and lower jaw bones.
- Incorrect Teeth Alignment: Misalignment of teeth leading to incorrect bite.
- Facial Asymmetry: Asymmetry in facial contour, such as asymmetrical cheekbones or jaw.
- Overbite or Underbite: Incorrect bite relationship between the upper and lower jaws, leading to overbite or underbite.
- Bite Function Disorders: Bite problems causing impaired oral function.
Process of Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery is performed under general anesthesia, usually in a hospital operating room. The surgical process involves making incisions on the upper and lower jaw bones and making the necessary adjustments to improve the bite and facial appearance. After the surgery, patients need a recovery period, during which special attention to oral hygiene and diet is required.
Benefits of Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery can bring the following benefits:
- Improved Bite: By adjusting the position of the jaw bones, the bite between the teeth can be improved, enhancing oral function.
- Improved Facial Appearance: Orthognathic surgery can correct facial asymmetry, making the facial contour more harmonious.
- Increased Confidence: By improving teeth alignment and facial appearance, patients can gain confidence and be more willing to show their smile.
Practitioners of Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery typically requires the collaboration of oral surgeons and orthodontists. Oral surgeons perform the surgery, while orthodontists assess the alignment of the teeth and determine the pre- and post-surgery orthodontic plan.

Orthognathic surgery is an effective treatment for improving jaw alignment and facial appearance, enhancing oral function and quality of life.
