What is Orthognathic Surgery?

Orthognathic surgery, or jaw surgery, is performed to correct skeletal and dental misalignments that cannot be resolved with orthodontics alone. These issues often affect speaking, chewing, breathing, and appearance. Common reasons for undergoing this procedure include:

  • Improving Functionality: Corrects misaligned jaws for better chewing, speaking, and breathing.
  • Enhancing Facial Balance: Aligns the jawbones for a more harmonious facial appearance.
  • Treating TMJ Disorders: Relieves chronic jaw pain and dysfunction.
  • Addressing Sleep Apnea: Helps open airways to improve breathing patterns.

Our center employs cutting-edge imaging and surgical techniques to plan and execute every procedure with precision and care.

Conditions Treated with Orthognathic Surgery

Orthognathic surgery addresses a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Severe overbite or underbite
  • Facial asymmetry
  • Open bite (space between upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed)
  • Chronic jaw pain or headaches
  • Breathing difficulties related to jaw positioning

Dr. Salehpour works closely with orthodontists to ensure a seamless treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

The Orthognathic Surgery Process

  1. Initial Consultation: We conduct a thorough evaluation of your jaw, teeth, and facial structure using advanced imaging.
  2. Treatment Planning: Collaborating with your orthodontist, we create a detailed surgical plan.
  3. Surgery: Under anesthesia or sedation, the procedure is performed to reposition the jawbones for improved alignment.
  4. Recovery: Healing takes several weeks, with follow-up appointments to monitor progress.
  5. Final Adjustments: Orthodontic treatment may be completed post-surgery to perfect your smile.

We guide you every step of the way, ensuring a comfortable and confident journey.
