What is Orthognathic Surgery?
Airway
Facial Harmony
Sleep Better
Better Function
Orthognathic surgery is a corrective jaw surgery that repositions the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both to improve your bite, facial balance, breathing, and airway function. It is an effective treatment for jaw misalignment, facial asymmetry, and obstructive sleep apnea.
We use a protocol called FAB (Face, Airway, and Bite), meaning that with a single surgery we are going to
FACE
The face is a complex system of moving parts.
To provide an aesthetic result with any cosmetic, dental, or orthognathic treatment, the hard and soft tissues of the face must have the correct shape, be in the right position, and provide proper function.
In fact, the correct shape, position, and function of the face are the very definition of physical beauty. This is our goal for each and every one of our patients.
AIRWAY
BITE
The facial bones support the airways through which we breathe.
Skeletal position can directly affect the volume of air that passes through when we breathe. This airflow can be improved by placing the bones in the correct position.
The proper fit of the teeth (occlusion) depends on a complex interaction
between the shape of the teeth and their position in the bone, the relationship between the jaws, the facial and jaw muscles, and the temporomandibular joints.
The idea is for the upper teeth to mesh with the lower teeth.
