Dentofacial Surgery

Dentofacial surgery is a specialized field of oral and maxillofacial surgery focused on correcting issues related to the face, jaws, and mouth. It involves procedures to improve function, such as bite alignment and jaw movement, and aesthetic appearance. Common surgeries include jaw realignment (orthognathic surgery), corrective jaw surgery, facial trauma repair, and treatment of congenital deformities. These surgeries aim to enhance oral function, breathing, and facial harmony, often improving patients' quality of life. Dentofacial surgeons are trained to evaluate complex facial structures and perform precise surgeries to address both functional and aesthetic concerns.
