Orthognathic Surgery
At NUFACE CLINIC, we offer expert orthognathic surgery as part of our comprehensive dental and maxillofacial services. This specialized surgical procedure is designed to correct irregularities of the jaw and facial structures, improving both function and aesthetics for our patients.
What is Orthognathic Surgery?
Orthognathic surgery, also known as jaw surgery, involves surgical procedures to realign the jaw and correct dental and facial deformities. This treatment is often recommended for patients with significant bite issues, facial asymmetry, or those who have experienced trauma to the jaw.
Why is it Needed?
Orthognathic surgery may be necessary for several reasons:
- Bite Correction: To address overbites, underbites, or crossbites that cannot be corrected with orthodontics alone.
- Facial Aesthetics: To improve the appearance of the face and jawline, enhancing overall facial harmony.
- Jaw Functionality: To alleviate issues such as jaw pain, difficulty chewing, or speaking due to misaligned jaws.
- Congenital Conditions: To correct jaw deformities resulting from birth defects or developmental abnormalities.
Benefits of Orthognathic Surgery:
- Enhanced Functionality: Improves chewing, speaking, and overall jaw function, allowing for a better quality of life.
- Facial Symmetry: Achieves a more balanced facial appearance, boosting self-esteem and confidence.
- Pain Relief: Alleviates discomfort associated with jaw misalignment or related conditions, such as TMJ disorders.
- Long-term Solutions: Provides lasting results by correcting underlying structural issues, reducing the need for future treatments.
At NUFACE CLINIC, we prioritize patient safety and comfort during orthognathic surgical procedures. Our experienced surgical team collaborates with orthodontists and other dental specialists to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Our commitment is to restore both functionality and aesthetics, significantly enhancing our patients’ quality of life.
