- indeed, every plastic surgeon has likely encountered a statement like, “You didn’t pull my face tight enough.” This is often due to patients misunderstanding how anatomy, tissue dynamics, and healing processes work.
Jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic (or-thog-NATH-ik) surgery, corrects irregularities in the jaw bones and corrects the jaws and teeth to improve working methods. Making these adjustments can also improve your facial appearance.
If you have jaw problems that cannot be solved with orthodontics alone, jaw surgery may be a corrective option. In most cases, you also have braces on your teeth before and after surgery until recovery and adaptation are complete.
Your orthodontist can work with your oral, maxillofacial (maxillofacial) surgeon to determine your treatment plan.
Jaw surgery is appropriate after the appropriate age, usually 14-16 years for women and 17-21 years for men. After.
Makes it easier to bite and chew, and generally improves chewing
Solves problems with swallowing or speaking
Minimizes excessive wear & breakage of teeth
Problems with proper tooth alignment or jaw closure, such as at least touching the teeth but not touching the front teeth (open biting)
Correction of facial imbalances (asymmetry) such as small jaws, lower teeth, excessive bites and cross bites
Improves the ability of the lips to close completely comfortably
Eliminate pain caused by temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and other jaw problems
Correct facial injuries or birth defects
Provide relief for obstructive sleep apnea

risks
Jaw surgery is generally safe when performed by an experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeon, often in collaboration with an orthodontist.
Operational risks may include:
Bleeding
infection
Nerve injury
Jaw fracture
Return of the jaw to its original position
Problems with teething and jaw joint pain
Additional surgery may be required
Selected teeth may need root canal therapy
Loss of sensation in part of the jaw
After the operation, you may encounter the following:
Pain and swelling
Problems with food that can be solved with dietary supplements or in consultation with a dietitian
A short time to adapt to a new face
How do you prepare
In most cases, the orthodontist places braces on your teeth before the operation. Brackets usually prepare your teeth for surgery 12 to 18 months before surgery.
Your orthodontist and oral and maxillofacial surgeon will work together to develop your treatment plan. X-rays, pictures and models of your teeth are part of planning your jaw surgery. Sometimes the difference in the way the teeth fit together requires either changing the shape of the teeth, covering the teeth with crowns, or straightening both.
Three-dimensional CT scans, computer-aided treatment planning, and temporary orthodontic anchor devices can be used to help move teeth and reduce time on brackets. Sometimes these efforts completely eliminate the need for jaw surgery.
Sometimes virtual surgical planning (VSP) will be used by your surgeon to adjust and correct the position of the jaw segment during the procedure for optimal results.
What to expect
Before the procedure
Jaw surgery is performed by plastic and maxillofacial surgeons. The operation is usually performed under general anesthesia. The operation is performed in a hospital and requires a stay of two to four days.
During the procedure
The operation can usually be performed inside your mouth, so no facial sores are visible on your chin, chin, or around the mouth. However, sometimes small incisions may be required outside your mouth.
Your surgeon makes incisions in the jawbones and brings them into the correct position. After the movement of your jaw is complete, small bone plates, screws, wires, and rubber bands can be used to bring the bones into a new position. Smaller than the brackets used for brackets, these screws are integrated into the bone structure over time.
In some cases, extra bone may be added to the jaw. Your surgeon removes the bone from your hip, leg, or rib and secures it with plates and screws. In other cases, the bone can be reshaped to provide better adaptation.
Jaw surgery can be performed on the upper jaw, lower jaw, jaw or any combination of them.
Upper jaw (maxillary osteotomy)
In upper jaw surgery, the surgeon makes incisions in the upper jaw, moves them forward, backward, up or down if necessary, and secures them with plates and screws.
Upper jaw surgery can be performed to correct:
Significantly retracted or protruding upper jaw
cross bite
Too many or too few teeth
open bite
Decreased facial growth in the middle of the face (middle facial hypoplasia)
Your surgeon cuts the bone on top of your teeth so that the entire upper jaw, including the roof of your mouth and upper teeth, can move as a unit. Jaw and upper teeth a
