Reasons for receiving double Jaw surgery at an oral and maxillofacial surgery hospital I (jaw correction, jaw surgery)
Double Jaw surgery is not just a
cosmetic surgery.
It is a sophisticated and difficult
surgery that must treat functional issues caused by skeletal malocclusion.
While so, there are many people who believe
the surgery is done only for cosmetic purposes considering its effectiveness on
enhancing one’s beauty.
A surgery that does not consider the
functions of the chin and jaw joints, along with the teeth that can chew and
speak after the surgery, can be devastating.
Accordingly, specialized knowledge on facial bone, teeth and jaw joints must be the
fundamental basis for healthy surgical results. Competency in this field
cannot be acquired unless it is an oral and maxillofacial surgery hospital with
dental school backgrounds.
Since double Jaw surgery has a close
relationship with teeth occlusion and has a significant potential impact on the
movement of jaw joints, it is important for the surgery to be performed under
close collaboration between the oral and maxillofacial surgery hospital and the
orthodontists. As such, double Jaw
surgery should be received from a specialist at an oral and maxillofacial
surgery hospital which can collaborate systematically with the orthodontists.
The origin
of double Jaw surgery is rooted in the jaw alignment surgery which began late
1800s in Europe. In Korea, the double Jaw surgery was first performed by a specialist at
an oral and maxillofacial surgery hospital in the 1950s. In line with the
development of dentistry, the double Jaw surgery has been developed and
performed primarily by oral and maxillofacial surgery hospitals and
orthodontists.
As there are specialized areas such
as internal medicine, pediatrics, and gynecology within the medial field, there
are also 11 different clinics within dentistry, such as oral and maxillofacial
surgery, orthodontics, prosthodontics, and pedodontics. Among them, the oral
and maxillofacial surgery area is where the specialists acquire comprehensive
knowledge and skills on jaw joints and Jaw surgery during their training.
