Cutting Edge Orthognathic Treatment Technology Treating Facial Bone Abnomalities

Corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) treats and corrects abnormalities of the facial bones, specifically the jaws and the teeth. Often, these abnormalities cause difficulty associated with chewing, talking, sleeping and other routine activities. Orthognathic surgery corrects these problems and, in conjunction with orthodontic treatment, will improve the overall appearance of the facial profile.

Where required, cutting edge imaging technology is used and materials such as titanium plates and miniature screws provide stability, strength and predictability to your treatment. These advances in technology, procedures and equipment reduce post-surgical recovery time, thus allowing patients to return to their normal routines soon after the surgery.

When Is Orthognathic Treatment Recommended?

Orthognathic surgery may be considered for patients with:

  • Significant bite issues that can’t be corrected with braces alone

  • Jaw misalignment causing discomfort or dysfunction

  • Sleep apnoea related to jaw positioning

  • Facial asymmetry or trauma

  • Speech or chewing difficulties

Before recommending surgery, our team will conduct a full clinical assessment, often in collaboration with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. We also work closely with you throughout your orthodontic journey, preparing your bite for optimal results both functionally and aesthetically.
