What does
the jaw surgery involve?
Jaw surgery may involve surgery to
your upper jaw (maxilla) or the lower jaw (mandible) or a combination of both
depending on your concerns and individual condition.
The operation procedure happens inside your mouth so there are no scars on your
face. During jaw surgery, your jaws are repositioned and held in their new position by
small screws and plates beneath the gum, which is generally left there
indefinitely.
Most of the time EU recommends the patient to do the jaw surgery without wire for the convenience of the patient. But some patients might need wire due to their nerve position. EU's first priority is patient safety :)
Why would I
benefit from orthognathic treatment?
This type of treatment can correct
your occlusion (bite) and change your facial profile. In some cases treatment
is planned to improve your bite, with minimal change to your facial appearance,
whilst in other cases, there will be a more noticeable change to your facial
appearance.
