Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery) In Pune
What is Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery?
Orthognathic surgery corrects irregularities of the jaw bones and realigns the jaws and teeth to improve function and appearance. It’s commonly recommended when orthodontics alone cannot fix jaw misalignment.
Why Is It Needed?
Severe bite issues (underbite, overbite, open bite)
Difficulty chewing, swallowing, or speaking
Sleep apnea related to jaw positioning
Facial imbalance or asymmetry
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues
Procedure
Diagnosis & Planning: A team of orthodontists and surgeons create a treatment plan using X-rays, digital scans, and models.
Pre-Surgical Orthodontics: Braces are often applied 6–12 months prior to surgery.
Surgery: Performed under general anesthesia. The jawbone is repositioned and fixed with plates, screws, or wires.
Recovery & Monitoring: A hospital stay of 1–2 days followed by recovery at home. Regular checkups ensure proper healing.
