Orthodontic Surgery

Orthodontic Surgery

Orthodontic surgery is a dental specialization that encompasses surgical procedures used for teeth straightening and jaw alignment. These surgical procedures are typically performed to correct misalignments of teeth and jaw structures, address issues affecting jaw development, or support orthodontic treatments.

Reasons and Applications:

1. Jaw Misalignments: Jaw surgery is used to correct misalignments between the upper and lower jaws. This condition can impact chewing function, speech, and overall oral health.

2. Facial Asymmetry: Orthodontic surgery may be applied to correct facial asymmetry and achieve aesthetic results.

3. Breathing Problems: Surgical interventions can be performed to address problems arising from respiratory disorders.

4. Dental Misalignment: In cases where orthodontic treatments are insufficient or unsuccessful, orthodontic surgery may be considered.
