Produktbeschreibung

Mandibular orthognathic surgery is a highly specialized surgical procedure designed to correct structural abnormalities in the lower jaw (mandible) that affect a person's bite, facial appearance, and oral function. These abnormalities may be congenital (present from birth), developmental, or caused by trauma or disease. Conditions such as overbite, underbite, crossbite, or facial asymmetry often lead to the need for this surgery.Mandibular orthognathic surgery is often performed in conjunction with orthodontic treatment, as braces are used both before and after the procedure to ensure proper alignment of teeth. Recovery time can range from several weeks to months, depending on the extent of the surgery, and involves follow-up care to monitor healing, manage pain, and prevent complications. With successful outcomes, patients experience improved facial harmony, enhanced oral function and increased self-confidence.While the surgery carries risks, including infection, nerve damage, or complications from anesthesia, it remains an effective solution for individuals with significant jaw discrepancies that cannot be corrected by traditional orthodontics alone.
