Jaw Surgery ?
Jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a specialized branch of oral and maxillofacial surgery that focuses on correcting abnormalities of the jaws and facial structure. This type of surgery addresses issues such as misaligned jaws, bite problems, congenital defects, or trauma-related deformities, aiming to improve both function and appearance.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons perform complex procedures in this field, including jaw realignment, corrective surgery for malocclusion, and reconstruction after injury or disease. These surgeries not only enhance facial aesthetics but also improve chewing, speaking, and overall oral health. Jaw surgery is often carefully planned using advanced imaging techniques to ensure precise results and long-term stability.
Jaw Surgery?
At Akva Dental Clinic, jaw surgery, also called orthognathic surgery, is performed to correct misalignments, deformities, or functional problems in the jaw. Common conditions include severe overbite, underbite, crossbite, facial asymmetry, obstructive sleep apnea, or jaw injuries. Surgery can also address difficulties with chewing, speaking, or chronic jaw pain. Patients with congenital defects or trauma-related jaw issues may benefit from corrective procedures. Early evaluation at Akva Dental Clinic ensures the right surgical approach is planned for each patient’s specific needs. Many patients experience both functional and aesthetic improvements after surgery.
Jaw surgery is often combined with orthodontic treatment to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic results. Proper diagnosis and planning improve outcomes and prevent complications. Dentists at Akva Dental Clinic carefully assess each case to ensure both functional improvement and facial harmony. In addition to correcting bite issues, surgery can also enhance facial symmetry and overall appearance, boosting patient confidence.
After Jaw Surgery?
Recovery after jaw surgery varies depending on the complexity of the procedure. Initial healing usually takes 6–8 weeks, with swelling and discomfort gradually decreasing. A soft diet, pain management, and proper oral hygiene are essential during recovery. Regular follow-up appointments at Akva Dental Clinic help monitor healing and adjust care if needed. Most patients return to normal daily activities within a few weeks, while complete bone healing may take several months. Proper rest and avoiding strenuous activity are important to ensure full recovery.
Following post-operative instructions carefully ensures proper bone stabilization and faster recovery. Physical therapy and exercises may also be recommended to restore jaw mobility and function. Ongoing guidance from Akva Dental Clinic helps patients regain comfort, strength, and full jaw function. Patients who closely follow professional instructions generally experience fewer complications and better long-term results.
Associated with Jaw Surgery?
Like any surgical procedure, jaw surgery carries potential risks, including infection, nerve damage, bleeding, and complications related to anesthesia. At Akva Dental Clinic, all patients are carefully evaluated to minimize these risks and ensure safety. Swelling, bruising, or temporary numbness is common but typically resolves over time. Proper pre-surgical assessment, hygiene, and post-operative care reduce complications. Minor adjustments may sometimes be needed to achieve perfect bite alignment after healing.
Long-term risks are rare but may include bite misalignment or the need for minor corrective procedures. Following instructions for diet, hygiene, and activity helps ensure successful results. Akva Dental Clinic provides detailed guidance to support healing, manage risks, and achieve optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes for patients undergoing jaw surgery. The combination of expert planning and patient compliance significantly increases the likelihood of a smooth recovery and long-lasting results.
