Orthognathic Surgery

Orthognathic surgery is a specialized procedure within oral and maxillofacial surgery aimed at correcting jaw and facial irregularities. It helps realign the upper jaw (maxilla) and lower jaw (mandible) to improve bite function, facial appearance, and overall dental health. This surgery is often recommended for individuals with severe misalignments, jaw pain, or difficulty with chewing and speaking. The procedure can enhance a patient’s smile and facial symmetry while addressing functional issues. Recovery typically involves a healing period, during which patients may need to adjust their diet and follow specific care instructions.
