Le Fort osteotomies

Le Fort osteotomies are specialized surgical procedures used to correct facial bone issues, such as misaligned jaws or severe bite problems. The surgeon makes controlled cuts in the upper jaw (maxilla) to realign it properly, often to improve function and appearance. These procedures are carefully planned to move the bones into the correct position and then stabilize them with plates or screws. Le Fort osteotomies are commonly performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons to address complex facial deformities, ensuring better breathing, chewing, and facial harmony.
