Orthognathic Surgery, a transformative intervention in oral and maxillofacial surgery, addresses complex jaw and facial irregularities that go beyond cosmetic concerns. This intricate procedure is tailored to correct issues like underbites, overbites, open bites, and asymmetry that may impact both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the face. Patients undergoing orthognathic surgery typically embark on a comprehensive journey that begins with detailed diagnostic assessments, including digital imaging and 3D models, to precisely plan the surgical corrections. Collaborative efforts between oral surgeons and orthodontists are common, as pre-surgical orthodontic treatment is often part of the overall plan to optimize alignment. The surgery itself involves precise adjustments to the jaw bones, necessitating careful planning and skilled execution by the surgical team. Post-surgery, patients may undergo a period of recovery and orthodontic refinement to ensure the final results meet both functional and aesthetic goals.
