Transform Your Smile with Corrective Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery addresses irregularities in the jaw by repositioning the bones. This procedure can involve the addition or removal of bone tissue to achieve harmonious facial proportions and improved functionality.
At Dentique, our team of specialized dentists meticulously plans each corrective jaw surgery to ensure optimal results. Here’s a detailed overview of the procedure and its benefits.
Benefits of Corrective Jaw Surgery
– Enhances Speech: Corrects alignment issues that can impair clear and effective communication.
– Improves Chewing: Repositions the jaw to facilitate better food intake and digestion.
– Balances Facial Proportions: Aligns the jaw for a more aesthetically pleasing facial symmetry.
– Enhances Breathing: Addresses structural issues that may obstruct airflow.
– Relieves Sleep Apnea: Alleviates breathing difficulties during sleep caused by jaw misalignment.
The Corrective Jaw Surgery Process
Initial Consultation and Planning:
The journey begins with a comprehensive examination by your dentist. This involves obtaining X-rays and other imaging to assess your jaw structure. At Dentique, we utilize advanced digital technologies to create detailed 3D models, allowing us to visualize and plan the surgical procedure with precision.
Surgical Procedure:
During the surgery, the correction is carried out from within the mouth to avoid visible scars. The jawbones are repositioned and secured with screws, and both the upper and lower jaws are adjusted in separate phases of the operation.
Recovery and Results:
The initial recovery period typically lasts around 6 weeks, during which you’ll notice improvements in facial appearance and alignment. Full results become evident after about 12 weeks. Following the surgery, we recommend beginning orthodontic treatment after 6 months to perfect your alignment and ensure lasting results.
Who Should Consider Corrective Jaw Surgery?
Corrective jaw surgery is suitable for individuals with significant jaw irregularities, such as misaligned jaws, overbites, or underbites. These issues can be congenital or result from an accident. However, it is important to have explored orthodontic treatments first. Traditional braces often resolve many alignment issues, and corrective surgery is considered when orthodontics alone are insufficient.
