Orthognathic surgery correct functional and esthetic problems that are due to underlying skeletal deformities. Orthognathic surgery is a combined orthodontic and surgical approach to correct or establish a stable, functional balance between the teeth, jaws, and facial structures.Orthognathic surgery is performed on the bones of the jaws and changes their positions.
Orthognathic surgeries reposition the jaws. In Latin Ortho means straighten, gnathia means jaw. This surgery involves the surgical manipulation of the elements of the facial skeleton to restore the proper anatomic and functional relationship in patients with facial skeletal defects. Orthognathic surgery aims to correct imbalance between the upper and lower jaws which will enable the teeth to bite together correctly; this also has the benefit of balancing and enhancing the facial appearance.
Orthognathic, surgery is performed by Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons to correct a wide range of minor and major skeletal and dental irregularities. The corrective surgery is performed on the bones of the jaws to change their positions.
This surgical procedure involves diagnosis, treatment planning, and execution of treatment by combining orthodontics and oral and maxillofacial surgery to correct skeletal, dento-osseous, and soft tissue deformities of the jaws and associated structures. Orthognathic surgery is needed when jaws do not meet correctly or when the teeth do not seem to fit with the jaws. The teeth are straightened with orthodontics, and corrective jaw surgery repositions the mal-aligned jaws. Orthognathic surgery repositions the upper jaw or jawbone, the lower jaw or jawbone, the teeth and their sockets to achieve facial balance. The patient’s appearance can be dramatically enhanced as a result of the surgery and also ensures that teeth meet correctly and function properly. Orthognathic surgery is also an important part of the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. Surgery usually lasts three to four hours during which time the patient will be completely asleep. Incisions are made on the inside of the mouth to expose the bones to be cut. The procedures are then carried out. Screws are used to hold the bones and the teeth are not usually wired together at all. The incisions are closed with sutures. Orthognathic surgeries should be carried out by well-qualified surgeons.
