Orthognathic surgery becomes necessary when dental misalignment, or malocclusion, cannot be corrected solely through orthodontic treatments like braces. In such cases, repositioning of the mandible or jaw is essential. This surgical intervention, conducted by specialists in orthognathic procedures, addresses various issues concerning the dental and maxillary structures, offering solutions to:
- an incorrect “bite”, whether or not associated with chewing and/or speech problems;
- mandibular abnormalities, such as anterior or posterior positioning of the mandible. Through this orthognathic surgery intervention, in addition to a correct occlusion, the harmonization of the face is obtained;
- airway problems (obstructive sleep apnea) generated by dento-maxillary anomalies;
- problems of the temporomandibular joint manifested by pain in the mandibular joint, in the neck or around the ear, by popping or other noises, limitations in opening the mouth or blocking of the mandible in certain positions.
Orthognathic surgery is recommended exclusively for adults: the jaw must be fully developed before resorting to correction.
