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 issues such as facial injuries, jaw misalignment, and congenital deformities. Surgeons in this field often work closely with dentists and orthodontists to provide comprehensive care. Procedures in maxillofacial surgery may include wisdom tooth extraction, jaw realignment, and reconstructive surgery after trauma or cancer. These surgeries aim to improve both function and appearance, helping patients regain their quality of life. Recovery times and techniques vary depending on the specific procedure performed.
