Orthognathic Surgery

Orthognathic Surgery is a necessary procedure to correct and reposition the bones of the jaw and maxilla, improving dental positioning, as well as facial aesthetics and harmony.

This procedure is indicated for patients who have changes in facial proportions, commonly presenting several functional and aesthetic problems. These patients may complain of having a chin that is too far forward (prognathic) or too far retracted (retrognathic), in addition to possible deviations and asymmetries. They may also complain of showing too much gum when smiling (gummy smile) or even not showing their teeth at all.

Several benefits are achieved with this procedure, including:

- MASTICATION: With the correction of bone positioning, a better relationship between the teeth is achieved, and the correction of the bite allows for greater chewing efficiency and digestion;

- BREATHING: Jaw repositioning allows for increased airflow, especially in patients with sleep apnea, reducing or eliminating episodes of interrupted breathing, and represents the gold standard treatment modality for this condition.

- AESTHETICS: The repositioning of the bone bases allows for a more harmonious relationship between the lips, teeth and jaws. The use of virtual planning programs allows simulations to be performed before surgery, achieving a more predictable result in accordance with the patient's expectations and desires.

The procedure is safe and predictable, being performed under general anesthesia and entirely inside the mouth, with maximum comfort for the patient. Always seeking the best, 100% of our patients are planned virtually in our own clinic, guaranteeing the highest level of precision today.
