Orthognathic surgery
Restoring facial balance
With orthognathic surgery, the maxillofacial surgeon restores balance to the face by working on the bony foundations on which the teeth rest. Orthognathic surgery is therefore recommended for the treatment of bite problems caused by disharmony between the upper and lower jaws, which cannot be treated by orthodontics (braces) alone.
Misalignment can have adverse effects on the ability to chew, swallow or breathe, with significant repercussions on the patient’s overall health and well-being.
Ortho gnathic surgery can also be considered in the treatment of sleep apnea. The choice of ortho gnathic surgery is part of a treatment plan carefully established by a competent medical team ready to answer all your questions in detail.
