Overview of Bilateral Jaw Orthognathic Surgery

What Is Bilateral Jaw Orthognathic Surgery?

Bilateral Jaw Orthognathic Surgery, also known as a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) or double jaw surgery, is a remarkable procedure in which the lower jaw is separated from the facial structure and subsequently repositioned.

This surgical intervention falls under the general umbrella of “orthognathic surgery” and is precisely aimed at achieving the desired jaw alignment. In certain instances, people who have protruding jaws require the implementation of BSSO to restore a more harmonious facial profile.

Alternatively, if the lower jaw is excessively set back or inclined to one side, it can be adjusted to achieve a more desirable position. Remarkably, this procedure allows for flexible manipulation of the lower jaw in multiple directions, thus addressing a broad range of anatomical concerns.

Fortunately, all incisions required for this surgical process are confined within the oral cavity. However, a small incision must be made on each cheek. A distinctive advantage of this surgical approach lies in its inconspicuous nature. After all, the entire procedure is carried out internally, leaving no visible scars on the facial surface.

Benefits of Bilateral Jaw Orthognathic Surgery

The surgery offers a range of remarkable benefits, including:

Correction of jaw abnormalities: The procedure can address various jaw irregularities such as a pronounced overbite, an enlarged lower jaw, or even slight jaw rotations that contribute to facial asymmetry. By precisely repositioning the jaw, the surgery aims to restore facial harmony and balance.
Improved bite alignment: Following the surgery, patients can anticipate significant improvements in their bite alignment. This enhanced alignment contributes to more effective and safer chewing functionality, allowing for a more comfortable and efficient eating experience.

Resolution of breathing difficulties: Patients who struggle with obstructive sleep apnea, characterized by significant nighttime breathing issues, can benefit immensely from jaw surgery.
Enhanced facial appearance: Beyond the functional benefits associated with dental and breathing concerns, orthognathic surgery can yield remarkable aesthetic improvements. Above all, it can result in a more harmonious and balanced facial appearance, boosting self-confidence.
Complementary procedures: In some cases, the surgery is performed concurrently with other interventions such as upper jaw surgery (Le Fort osteotomy) or chin surgery (sliding genioplasty). This comprehensive approach ensures a comprehensive transformation of the facial structure, addressing multiple concerns simultaneously.
