Jaw Surgery
At Balat Aesthetic, we specialize in jaw surgery, a corrective procedure designed to improve bite function, facial symmetry, and overall oral health. Whether for medical or cosmetic reasons, our expert surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure optimal results.
What is Jaw Surgery?
Jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is performed to realign the upper and lower jaws, improving their function and aesthetics. It is commonly used to:
- Correct bite misalignment (underbite, overbite, crossbite).
- Improve chewing, speaking, and breathing.
- Enhance facial symmetry and jawline definition.
- Treat jaw-related disorders such as TMJ dysfunction and sleep apnea.
The Jaw Surgery Process
- Consultation & Digital Planning: A comprehensive evaluation using 3D imaging and bite analysis.
- Pre-Surgical Orthodontics: Braces are often required before surgery to align teeth properly.
- Surgical Procedure: The jaw is repositioned under general anesthesia for improved function and aesthetics.
