What is it?
This is a surgical procedure under general anesthesia that seeks to make micro-cuts in the gum and bone to reposition the jaws (bones that hold the teeth) to improve your bite and facial harmony. You will have an ultra-fast recovery that will allow you to eat and resume your activities in 1 week, since it normally takes 1 month to a month and a half.
How do I know
if I need it?
Orthognathic surgery is required if there are abnormalities (problems) in the position of the jawbones. Below, we will delve deeper into the subject.
1. Class I:
It is not an anomaly, it is considered a normal profile. That is to say, it has the ideal position of the bones and the bite. Sometimes it is accompanied by jaws deviated to the right and left, which makes the patient perceive themselves as "asymmetrical.".
2. Class II DentoFacial Anomalities:
They are common in patients with small jaws and/or chins, who show a lot of gum when smiling, accompanied by deep bites (the lower teeth bite very far back relative to the upper teeth).
3. Class III DentoFacial Anomalities:
They are common in patients with very large or strong jaws (where the lower jaw is larger than the upper jaw). This is often accompanied by crossbites or 'overjets,' causing the lower teeth to pass in front of the upper teeth.
Bite
Correction
Commonly known as crossbites (lower teeth protrude over upper teeth), deep bites (upper teeth cover the lower teeth to the extent that they are not visible), and misaligned bites due to jaw deviations, among others.
Facial
Asymmetries
This problem occurs during the developmental stage and is reflected in bite issues that end up causing the teeth to shift to the right or left; consequently, the jaw also appears misaligned, affecting the people's facial physical appearance.
Sleep
Apnea
Patients with small jaws or chins are more prone to developing respiratory problems such as snoring and sleep apnea. This problem consists of waking up several times during the night, resulting in non-restorative sleep, headaches, and fatigue, among others.
How long does the
recovery take?
Disability is caused more by inflammation and the duration can be 7 to 10 days initially. Diet begins with liquids up to soft foods according to medical instructions.
It is recommended to avoid physical exertion activities, use ice, and undergo laser therapy and lymphatic drainage according to the specialist's instructions. The best part is that your mouth is not wired shut; you can open it without restriction during your recovery.
