Dental Services > Orthognathic Surgery
Surgical correction of facial abnormalities is routinely done by us as a specialist team approach involving an orthodontist and a oral maxillofacial surgeon.

This type of surgery improves the overall esthetic appearance of the face as well as the bite in complicated cases.

Orthognathic surgery may be considered when -
  • The lower jaw is much behind the upper jaw
  • The lower jaw is much more ahead of the upper jaw, making the chin more prominent
  • Open bite in front as the teeth do not meet
  • The jaw may be deviated to one side causing facial asymmetry
  • Combinations of these

The surgery involves a brief period of hospitalization and the incisions are made from inside the mouth so that there are no scars on the face.
