Orthognathic Surgery
At Balat Aesthetic, we specialize in orthognathic surgery, a corrective jaw procedure designed to improve bite alignment, facial symmetry, and overall oral function. Our expert surgeons ensure precise and personalized treatment plans for each patient.
What is Orthognathic Surgery?
Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, is performed to realign the jaws and teeth to improve function and aesthetics. It is commonly used to:
- Correct severe bite misalignment (underbite, overbite, crossbite).

- Enhance facial balance and symmetry.
- Treat jaw-related disorders such as TMJ dysfunction and sleep apnea.
