What is Orthognathic surgery?

Orthognathic surgery is a unique endeavor in facial surgery: a patient's appearance and occlusal function can be improved significantly, impacting the patient's sense of self and well-being. Successful outcomes in modern orthognathic surgery rely on close collaboration between the surgeon and the orthodontist across all stages of treatment, from preoperative planning to finalization of 

Orthognathic surgery to reposition the maxilla, mandible, or chin is the mainstay treatment for patients who are too old for growth modification and for dentofacial conditions that are too severe for either surgical or orthodontic camouflage.



Are you Afraid of Nerve Damage?

Injury to the infraorbital nerve during a Le Fort I osteotomy or the inferior alveolar nerve during a sagittal split osteotomy of the mandible typically represent a neurapraxia. Injury to the facial or lingual nerve during mandible surgery is rare. The infraorbital or inferior alveolar nerves may be stretched or contused, but are rarely lacerated or avulsed. Most of the time return of sensibility is dependent patient's individual healing. But most of them feel the sensation after 6~12 months.
