What Is Orthognathic Surgery?

Orthognathic surgery is a procedure to correct irregularities in the jaw and facial bones, improving function and appearance. The surgery involves realigning the upper and lower jaws to correct bite issues, jaw asymmetry, or facial deformities. The process includes pre-surgical planning, making precise surgical cuts to reposition the jaws, and securing them with plates or screws. Orthognathic surgery can enhance chewing, speaking, and overall facial harmony, contributing to improved oral health and self-confidence. Post-surgery recovery involves rest and following specific care instructions to ensure optimal results.
