Jaw Correction at Apollo Dental Clinic, Suchitra, Hyderabad
When the upper and lower jaws do not align properly, it can affect more than just your appearance. It can lead to difficulty chewing, speaking, breathing, and even chronic jaw pain. At Apollo Dental Clinic Suchitra, we offer advanced orthognathic surgery to correct jaw irregularities, restore function, and enhance facial harmony.
Our team works closely with orthodontists and oral surgeons to develop a comprehensive treatment plan, helping you achieve both health and aesthetic improvements through safe and effective jaw correction surgery.
What Is Orthognathic Surgery?
Orthognathic surgery, or corrective jaw surgery, is a specialised procedure that repositions the jaws to address skeletal and dental irregularities. It is usually recommended when orthodontics alone cannot correct severe misalignment.
This surgery improves bite function, facial balance, and long-term oral health.
Who Needs Orthognathic Surgery?
- Difficulty chewing, biting, or swallowing
- Chronic jaw or TMJ pain
- Open bite or underbite
- Receding or protruding chin
- Facial asymmetry
- Breathing problems or sleep apnea
- Speech difficulties
An evaluation with 3D imaging and dental assessments will help determine if this treatment is right for you.
Types of Jaw Corrections Performed
- Maxillary Osteotomy: Surgery of the upper jaw for issues like open bite or crossbite.
- Mandibular Osteotomy: Repositions a lower jaw that is too far back or forward.
- Bimaxillary Osteotomy: Both jaws are adjusted simultaneously for complex cases.
- Genioplasty: Chin surgery often combined with jaw correction for cosmetic balance.
Treatment Journey
