What is Orthognathic Surgery?

Orthognathic Surgery is a special surgical procedure that ensures proper jaw alignment by repositioning the upper, lower, or both jaws. It involves the repositioning of the basal bone to correct oral deformities. Jaw surgery helps improve functions such as biting, chewing, clear speech, and breathing. Unlike orthodontics (braces) that are only concerned with the teeth bone, this surgery repositions the whole jawbone.

Types of Jaw Surgery

Our best jaw surgeon in Dubai might recommend you one of the following types of Orthognathic Surgery based on your condition:

Upper Jaw Surgery (Maxillary Osteotomy)

Upper Jaw Surgery involves correcting the upper jaw or maxilla to properly align it with the lower one. It corrects concerns like crossbite, underbite, Gummy smile, and midface deficiencies.

Lower Jaw Surgery (Mandibular Osteotomy)

Mandibular Osteotomy aims to reposition the lower jaw (mandible). It is good for people whose lower jaw is too far or backward, disturbing their appearance. This will enhance the overall facial symmetry. Lower Jaw Surgery is also seen as effective in lowering TMJ pain and chewing difficulty.

Double Jaw Surgery (Bimaxillary Osteotomy)

Double Jaw Surgery targets both the upper and lower jaws, repositioning both the maxilla and mandible under a single session. This makes sure the bones are well-coordinated to ensure good alignment. It corrects severe malocclusions, complex facial symmetry, sleep apnea, and congenital deformities.

Genioplasty (Chin Surgery)

This surgery is characterized by repositioning the chin bone (mentum) to improve facial harmony and correct functional defects linked with the chin’s alignment. Genioplasty corrects issues like a receding chin, a protruding chin, and chin imbalance, etc.

Distraction Osteogenesis

Distraction osteogenesis is a specialized method used to lengthen the jawbone and deal with any jaw deficiency. Here, the surgeon will create a controlled fracture (corticotomy) and then utilize a mechanical device (distractor) to pull the bone segments.

How does corrective jaw surgery work?

This process starts with a detailed consultation with a surgeon. Your medical history is evaluated, and a necessary 3D Cone-Beam CT scan (CBCT) is also carried out to get a detailed view of your skull, nerves, teeth, roots, etc.

Presurgical Braces

Braces are often placed for a few months before the surgery to reposition your teeth and properly align them. These braces help the jaws fit correctly after the procedure.

Surgical Planning

Advanced digital tools are used to create custom surgical guides (cutting templates) that fit exactly over teeth. This virtual planning predicts the possible outcomes and ensures accuracy.

Jaw Surgery Day

• Duration: The surgery takes about 2-4 hours.
• Anesthesia: The surgeon will provide general anesthesia to ensure a painless process.
• Incisions Making: Cuts are made inside the mouth to reposition the upper, lower, or both jaws based on the case.
• The Bone Cuts (Osteotomy): The surgeon carefully cuts the jawbone as per the preplanned 3D-printed guides. Then the jaw bones are relocated to their planned position.
• Nevertheless, the jawbones are then secured via small titanium plates and screws for stability.
