A prominent malocclusion, causing facial asymmetry, impacting chewing, appearance, and leading to self-consciousness and communication difficulties. Orthognathic surgery addresses this flaw in a single procedure, promoting facial symmetry and harmony.
WHAT ARE MALOCCLUSION AND OVERBITE? CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF MALOCCLUSION
Malocclusion and overbite refer to conditions where the upper teeth or jaw protrude excessively, affecting aesthetics, causing misalignment of the bite, and impairing chewing function. In the long term, they can impact digestion and overall health.
The condition of malocclusion is classified into different degrees. Based on the severity of malocclusion, the dentist will recommend the optimal corrective approach.
- Grade 1: Mild malocclusion
The upper or lower jaw, or both, protrudes forward to a mild extent (less than 1 cm), resulting in facial asymmetry, without affecting the jaw’s function.
- Grade 2: Moderate malocclusion
The length of the jaw protruding forward is moderate (1 – 2 cm), resulting in an imbalance in the jawbone structure, partially affecting chewing function and eating activities.
- Grade 3: Severe malocclusion
Considered a challenging malocclusion condition, as the portion of the jawbone (upper or lower) protrudes significantly (>2cm). This not only impacts aesthetics but also leads to difficulties in chewing function and misalignment of the bite.
Orthognathic surgery enhances your smile.
THE ADVANTAGES OF ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY
Single Procedure, Lasting Effectiveness
Currently, orthognathic surgery is a fast and effective method of cosmetic enhancement performed in a single session. Following the procedure, there is no recurrence. The profound impact of bone cutting and alignment will deliver sustainable results for the future.
Immediate Effectiveness Post-Surgery
As malocclusion is a prominent facial defect, particularly for those with skeletal malocclusion, surgery will yield significant transformations. Immediately following the surgery, the defect will be eliminated, showcasing the evident efficacy of the procedure.
Pain-free
In reality, the surgery is conducted swiftly thanks to modern machinery, causing no discomfort to the patient.
Rapid Recovery – Simple Postoperative Care
The recovery time after orthognathic surgery is also quite rapid. The basic wound healing process typically occurs within 6 weeks, and complete jaw frame recovery is achieved within 3 to 6 months, depending on each patient’s individual condition.
The postoperative care process is also simpler compared to orthodontic treatment cycles or other modern dental methods for addressing malocclusion.
THE ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY PROCEDURE
Protruding jaws caused by congenital bone structure require surgical intervention such as orthognathic surgery to correct.
- A small incision is made at the premaxillary vestibular mucosa site (upper or lower as indicated) by the surgeon to expose the area of the jawbone requiring osteotomy.
- The specialist dentist removes the upper canine teeth to create space. After excising the protruding bone, the jawbone is repositioned backward for harmony.
- Specialized fixation screws are used to secure the jawbone block. Jaw compression bandage is applied for one month.
