Orthognathic Surgeons

Orthognathic surgeons are specialized professionals who correct skeletal and dental irregularities of the jaws and face through surgical intervention. They treat conditions such as jaw misalignment, malocclusion, facial asymmetry, and airway obstructions that can affect chewing, speech, and breathing. Using advanced diagnostic tools like 3D imaging and computer-assisted planning, they design precise, personalized treatment plans to reposition the jaws and restore proper function and facial balance. Their work often provides both functional and cosmetic benefits, improving bite alignment while enhancing facial aesthetics.

These surgeons collaborate closely with orthodontists, prosthodontists, and speech therapists to ensure comprehensive care before and after surgery. They manage complex cases including congenital deformities like cleft palate, trauma-related injuries, and sleep apnea caused by jaw position. With evolving techniques such as virtual surgical simulation and custom surgical guides, orthognathic surgery has become safer, more efficient, and more predictable. Beyond correcting structural issues, their interventions often lead to increased self-confidence, reduced jaw pain, and better quality of life for patients. Through precise surgical correction and interdisciplinary coordination, orthognathic surgeons play a vital role in transforming both oral health and overall well-being. They also address temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems that stem from improper jaw alignment, helping to alleviate chronic pain and dysfunction. With continuous advancements in digital planning and minimally invasive techniques, orthognathic surgeons are making recovery faster and outcomes more refined than ever before.
