Orthognathic Surgery

Orthognathic surgery is a specialized branch of oral and maxillofacial surgery that focuses on correcting skeletal and dental irregularities of the jaw and facial structure. This surgical procedure aims to improve a patient’s bite, facial symmetry, and overall function. It involves carefully planned adjustments to the upper jaw (maxilla), lower jaw (mandible), or both, to address issues such as malocclusion (misalignment of teeth), facial asymmetry, breathing problems, and sleep apnea. Orthognathic surgery typically requires collaboration between oral surgeons, orthodontists, and other dental specialists to ensure comprehensive treatment planning and optimal results. Dr Kotra Shetty and Dr Akhil Patil will be giving you a perspective from an oral surgeon and orthodontist point of view.
