Overview of Jaw Reconstruction Surgery

What Is Jaw Reconstruction Surgery?

Jaw reconstruction surgery, commonly referred to as orthognathic surgery or corrective jaw surgery, serves as a technique for correcting or adjusting various jaw irregularities.

Its primary goal is to address both functional and cosmetic concerns associated with the jaw.

This procedure is particularly effective in addressing misalignments of the jaws and teeth, uneven and asymmetrical jaw growth, as well as other dental irregularities that extend beyond mere tooth alignment.

Often, this approach targets the structural aspects of the jaw, involving the manipulation of the upper and/or lower jaw bones.

By lengthening or shortening the jaws, repositioning them upward or downward, or adjusting them inward or outward, you will get a more harmonious bite and facial appearance.

Various factors can contribute to the development of jaw defects, with automobile accidents being the most commonly observed cause.

Jaw reconstruction serves as a comprehensive process employed to address a range of jaw problems, including open bites, difficulties with chewing and swallowing, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder-related pains, excessive tooth wear within the jaw, and others.

Besides, the cheaper cost doesn’t come at the expense of the quality of care received, especially if the patient decides to undergo the surgery in respectable Turkish clinics, such as International Clinics in Istanbul.

Benefits of Jaw Reconstruction Surgery

People facing challenges related to their jaw, facial symmetry, or tooth alignment often encounter difficulties in everyday activities such as chewing, speaking, and sleeping.

For such individuals, jaw reconstruction surgery can be a transformative solution. By skillfully repositioning both the teeth and the jaws, this corrective procedure establishes a more harmonious, functional, and healthy alignment.

While the primary objective of this surgery revolves around enhancing bite functionality, many patients also frequently experience additional benefits in terms of their physical appearance and speech clarity.

In fact, this procedure can effectively address aesthetic concerns such as a protruding jaw or an imbalanced facial profile. To ensure a successful outcome, the utilization of orthodontic devices, including retainers, is often suggested after the procedure.

In short, the surgery encompasses the treatment of various conditions, including:

Jaw damage or injury
Chronic pain in temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
Difficulty biting, chewing, or swallowing food
Excessive tooth wear or deterioration
Correction of "gummy" smiles”
underbites, overbites, crossbites, and weak chins
