At Precision Dental Clinic - Dubai in the Dubai, UAE area, our dentists are dedicated to helping you overcome jaw irregularities that can alter your facial appearance and impair proper functionality. Achieving these results involves a complex treatment known as orthognathic surgery, or corrective jaw surgery, designed for cases where misaligned jaws cannot be fixed with orthodontic treatment and appliances alone. In our dental practice, we collaborate with top orthodontic surgeons in the area to deliver efficient surgical orthodontics and orthognathic surgery treatments. Our role is to handle the orthodontic phase of the treatment while our surgical partners take care of the surgical realignment of your jaws. This collaborative approach, spearheaded by our dentists, ensures the restoration of healthy teeth and jaw alignment. This leads to enhanced functionality, aesthetic appearance, confidence, and overall health and well-being.
Orthodontics for orthognathic surgical treatment
What are some of the treatment processes integrated into orthognathic surgery procedures?
Treatment stages encompass orthodontic realignment prior to surgery, jaw realignment surgery, and post-surgical orthodontic adjustments. Because jaw and teeth movement are interconnected, orthodontic treatments are usually combined with orthognathic surgery. Our dental team personalizes every orthodontic patient, providing guidance on the optimal care for your specific oral health needs during this process.
What can I expect from my orthognathic surgery procedure?
Orthognathic surgery is typically performed with incisions inside the mouth, leaving no visible scars on the face or around the mouth area. It involves the realignment of either the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both, securing them in place with appliances such as wires and screws. Post-surgery, some pain and swelling might be experienced over the next few days, but these are often well-managed with prescription or over-the-counter pain medications as directed by our dental team.
What happens after I have orthognathic surgery?
Our oral surgery team will monitor your healing process and advise you on the best ways to maintain dental hygiene following your treatments. After several months, you will return to our dental office for final adjustments to your smile. We provide valuable advice on the importance of proper after-care, including alterations to your diet, to support fast and predictable recovery following the procedure.
Who is a proper candidate for corrective jaw surgery and other orthognathic procedures?
Corrective jaw surgery could be beneficial if you have congenital defects, bite problems, difficulty chewing or swallowing, chronic jaw pain, obstructive sleep apnea, or you have recently experienced a traumatic injury to the face. If the jaw issue is affecting your speech function and appearance or causing you discomfort, it might be time to consider the benefits of quality corrective jaw surgery.
