Corrective Jaw Surgery Orthognathic Surgery

when either/both jaws(upper jaw/maxilla, lower jaw/mandible) do not meet correctly and/or teeth are not aligned as they should be within arch or in relation to jaws or both ( mandibular prognathism/enlarged mandible, mandibular retrognathism/micrognathism /small mandible, open bite –increased space between the upper and lower teeth vertical maxillary excess/excessive anterior teeth show and gummy smile).

corrective jaw surgery is done. This not only improves facial appearance, overall esthetics & self-esteem, but also ensures that teeth meet correctly and function properly, and keeps our TMJ healthy.

Orthodontics(Teeth are straightened/aligned) alone can correct bite problems when only the teeth are involved.
