Jaw surgery is a specialist area of dentistry that can involve a variety of complex procedures to realign the patient's jaws. The main aim of jaw surgery is to restore function and form as well as aesthetics to the patient's jaw structures. Jaw surgery is also known as Orthognathic Surgery, and it can be used to treat both upper and lower jaw abnormalities. Such abnormalities can affect the patient's profile, their ability to chew, speak, and even breath. Jaw surgery helps restore the patient's jaw alignment whilst also providing aesthetic improvements. Jaw surgery can be performed to correct or improve the following conditions:
Underbite
Overbite
Malocclusion
Insufficient jawbone Infection in the temporomandibular joint
Rhinoplastic reconstruction
Jaw surgery takes place under a general anaesthetic and can involve a range of techniques depending on the patient's individual needs. These can include a combination of trimming, reshaping, and repositioning the patient's jaw structures. Some jaw surgery will involve the use of plates, pins, and wires to accurately fix the jaw in place to ensure the correct position is maintained during the healing process. Following the surgery, the patient will be closely monitored during their recovery period either in the hospital or clinic. It's important to adhere to all post-operative instructions given to ensure the best outcome is achieved. The healing process for jaw surgery can take between several weeks to several months, and the patient may be required to wear a brace or splint to help protect the jaw whilst it heals. All in all, jaw surgery is a highly specialised area of dentistry that can help restore the patient's function and form as well as their facial aesthetics. Whilst all surgeries have a degree of risk, jaw surgery is an extremely precise procedure carried out by highly professional dentists and surgeons. If you are in need of jaw surgery, it is important to seek the advice of a specialist dentist.
