Best Orthognathic Surgery At Richardsons Face Hospital

Introduction
Corrective jaw surgery, also known as Orthognathic surgery, changes the structure of your jawbone and brings your upper and lower jaws into proper alignment. Misaligned jaws can negatively impact your bite, making eating and speaking more difficult. The Best Orthognathic Surgery can correct conditions that nonsurgical treatments cannot.

For example, brackets can move your teeth into new positions, but they can’t move your jaw or change its shape. Jaw surgery is a complex procedure, but choosing the Best Orthognathic Surgery ensures the safest approach to changing the skeletal structure of your mouth.

Orthognathic surgery is used to treat:

1. Forwardly placed/protruded upper or lower jaw

2. Backwardly placed upper and/or lower jaw

3. Anterior open bite

4. Skeletal misalignment of teeth

5. Residual deformity after trauma or previous botched up surgeries

6. Corrective surgeries for cleft or patients with syndromes

The Best Orthognathic Surgery addresses these conditions with precision, helping patients restore proper function, alignment, and facial aesthetics.

Anterior Maxillary Osteotomy
It is done for:

• Correction of bimaxillary protrusion

• Marked protrusion of the maxillary teeth

• Skeletal anterior open bite

• To retract the anterior teeth when that cannot be accomplished by conventional orthodontic treatment

• When orthodontic tooth movement is inadvisable

• Improvement in appearance with the Best Orthognathic Surgery for long-term functional and aesthetic results

Upper Jaw Advancement/Setback
Deformity of the Maxilla or the upper jaw can be corrected in all 3 planes, and it can be brought forward, downwards, or pushed backwards accordingly with the Best Orthognathic Surgery techniques.

Midface Advancement

• Maxillary–zygomatic horizontal deficiency

• When the Mandible/lower jaw is protruding excessively

• Maxillary vertical excess or deficiency

• Maxillary transverse deficiency

• Maxillary midline shifts

• Excessive scleral exposure of the eyes treated effectively through the Best Orthognathic Surgery for improved function and appearance

Sagittal Split Osteotomy
The lower jaw can be brought forward or backward depending on the facial profile desired. The Best Orthognathic Surgery techniques are mostly done in cases such as:

• Upper jaw protruding too much forward

• Mandibular retrognathism

• Mandibular prognathism

• Mandibular asymmetry

• Correction of small anterior open bite

Genioplasty / Chin Augmentation / Chin Recontouring
Although the chin is an often overlooked aspect of facial aesthetics, it remains a pivotal feature that significantly influences overall facial attractiveness and maintains facial balance. Chin augmentation or genioplasty is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure that enhances facial aesthetics by refining the chin’s appearance and addressing horizontal or vertical chin deficiency and soft tissue loss.

As part of the Best Orthognathic Surgery approaches, alloplastic chin implants are commonly used for augmentation following a comprehensive patient assessment to determine the appropriate implant type and size. The surgical technique for genioplasty falls into two broad categories: osseous genioplasty and alloplastic augmentation.

Generally, it is more comfortable inserting an implant rather than performing osteotomies. With proper patient and implant selection, implant augmentation achieves desirable results and is easy to execute. However, osseous genioplasty is also not a difficult procedure to perform; moreover, it is a highly versatile procedure that can allow movement in all dimensions.

Preoperative planning, aided by simulation and 3D models, further enhances precision in genioplasty, making it a valuable component of the Best Orthognathic Surgery for both function and aesthetics.

Facial Asymmetry Corrections
While minor asymmetries are common and natural, very obvious asymmetries can lead to an unaesthetic appearance and may result in low self-esteem for the patient. The Best Orthognathic Surgery techniques can be performed for such asymmetry corrections.

It could involve a single procedure or a combination of the above-mentioned surgeries, coupled with certain cosmetic procedures for the skin and superficial tissues to correct minor discrepancies, ensuring improved balance and overall facial harmony.
