Corrective jaw surgery
Understanding Corrective Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a specialized procedure designed to address irregularities in the jaw bones and realign the jaws and teeth to improve their function. This surgery can be recommended for individuals experiencing difficulties with chewing, speech, breathing, or facial symmetry due to skeletal misalignment. At Ibdaa Dental Clinic, our professional surgeons utilize advanced 3D imaging and precise digital planning to deliver personalized treatments that not only enhance your oral health, but also boost your confidence and facial aesthetics.
The Procedure & Recovery Process
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation and detailed diagnostics, including x-rays and digital scans to assess your jaw structure. The surgical procedure is carried out under general anesthesia and involves repositioning the jaw bones for optimal alignment. Recovery involves a gradual process; most patients resume everyday activities within a few weeks. Throughout your healing process, our team provides continuous support and post-surgery guidance to ensure your comfort, safety, and the best possible results.
