Orthognathic Treatment

Some other patients have functional problems such as biting and chewing problems, although nothing noticeable in appearance.

The word orthognathia comes from the Greek words ortho (straight) and gnati (jaw) and means straight jaw. Orthognathic surgery is a surgical method applied to correct this problem in the jaws and to bring the affected jaws into the appropriate position. It is applied in cases where the jaws are not compatible with each other and the teeth are not compatible with the jaws. The teeth are corrected orthodontically and then the jaws are surgically repositioned. These procedures not only improve the facial appearance, but also ensure the harmony of the teeth with each other and the correct function. In other words, it provides both aesthetic and functional improvement.

Today, virtual surgical planning with 3D tomography is used in a small number of clinics in the planning and implementation of orthognathic surgery. In 3D virtual orthognathic surgery planning; every stage related to the hard tissue, soft tissues and teeth in the jaw and face can be monitored, studied and shows the physician and the patient the ideal result that will occur after the operation.

With this pre-treatment simulation, the result that will occur before the operation can be monitored in 3D. According to this simulation, surgical splints prepared in a virtual environment are produced and the jaws are brought to the most ideal position planned in advance. With orthognathic surgery applied with 3D virtual planning, minimum margin of error and the closest result to perfection are obtained.
