Orthognathic surgery is a type of surgical procedure that corrects irregularities of the jaw and face. It aims to improve the alignment of the teeth and jaws, which can enhance both function and appearance. This surgery is often recommended for individuals with severe bite issues, jaw deformities, or facial asymmetry. The procedure typically involves repositioning the upper jaw (maxilla) and/or lower jaw (mandible) to achieve a better bite and facial balance. Recovery may take several weeks, and patients often work with a team of specialists, including orthodontists and oral surgeons, to ensure optimal results.
