The management of facial asymmetry is
aimed at correcting the underlying disorder. Thus, the three classic solutions
to this problem are, according to their cause:
• Skeletal asymmetries, either in the
maxillary or mandibular region (when the maxillary or mandible are developed by
excess or by default on one side of the face with respect to the other side)
are treated by orthognathic surgery:
• Generalized asymmetries are treated
by bimaxillary orthognathic surgery accompanied by aesthetic procedures such as:
• Dental asymmetries (when the
problem is due only to bad teeth placement) are treated by orthodontic treatment

To correct the canting the surgeon will work to level both sides.
When the problem is in the anteroposterior plane, the surgeon can move forward
or backward on one side to achieve a good bone balance.

Why treat facial asymmetry?
The aesthetic and functional problems associated with significant
facial asymmetry can very negatively affect the orofacial, nutritional
and psychosocial development of the patient. The solution of facial asymmetry, like all surgical
procedures that we perform at EU, solves at the same time aesthetic problems, such as
lack of harmony in the factions, and functional, such as pain in the
temporomandibular joint or discomfort when chewing, in addition to greatly
improving patient self-confidence.
