What Is Orthognathic Surgery and Who Needs It?

Understanding Orthognathic Surgery

Orthognathic surgery, commonly known as jaw surgery, is a corrective procedure that realigns the jaws to improve function, appearance, and overall oral health. It’s performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons to treat skeletal and dental irregularities that cannot be corrected with braces alone.

At Dr. Tayyeb’s Dental & Maxillofacial Center, we specialize in advanced jaw surgery in Gorakhpur to help patients achieve balanced facial structure and improved quality of life.

Who Needs Orthognathic Surgery?

Orthognathic surgery may be recommended for individuals with:

  • Misaligned jaws causing difficulty in chewing or speaking
  • Facial asymmetry or disproportionate jaw growth
  • Chronic jaw pain or TMJ disorders
  • Sleep apnea linked to jaw positioning
  • Open bite or underbite not correctable with orthodontics
  • Congenital conditions like cleft palate or jaw deformities

If you experience any of these issues, a consultation with an oral surgeon can determine whether jaw surgery is right for you.

Benefits of Jaw Surgery

  • Improved bite and chewing function
  • Enhanced facial symmetry and aesthetics
  • Relief from chronic jaw pain and headaches
  • Better speech and breathing
  • Long-term stability and oral health

What to Expect During Treatment

  1. Initial Consultation – Includes X-rays, 3D scans, and bite analysis
