Maxillofacial Surgery is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the face, jaw, and mouth. This type of surgery can address various issues, including facial injuries, jaw misalignments, and congenital deformities. Surgeons in this field often work closely with dentists and orthodontists to ensure comprehensive care for patients.
The procedures performed in Maxillofacial Surgery can range from simple tooth extractions to complex reconstructive surgeries. These surgeries not only improve function, such as chewing and speaking, but also enhance the appearance of the face, helping patients regain confidence and improve their quality of life.
