  • Involuntary mouth breathing
  • Inability of your lips to come together without straining
  • Correction of overbite & underbite.
  • Trauma or injury to the jaw or face
  • Open bite (space between the upper and lower teeth when your mouth is closed)
  • Protruding jaw
  • Receding lower jaw and chin
  • Tumour or pathology affecting the jaw

The main purpose is to correct severe malocclusion (improper bite) that may be causing functional problems in daily behaviour, such as speech, chewing food or even sleep apnea. This is mainly a team work involving both the Surgeon, Orthodontist & Anesthetist.

The Orthodontist aligns the teeth prior to the surgery in order to facilitate for surgery & following the surgery he/she gets the teeth into in to good intercuspation (good bite) The Oral and Maxillofacial Facial Surgeon (OMFS), corrects the Jaw deformity by re- positioning the jaws and fixing them using Titanium plates & Screws. The Anesthetist helps the surgeon during the surgery by providing hypotensive anesthesia.

Distraction Osteogenesis is a procedure performed to correct excessive jaw deformities which cannot be corrected using orthognathic surgery. As done in Orthognathic surgery, Osteotomy cuts are made & distraction device is placed at the osteotomy site & activated daily until the defect is corrected.

Instructions following the Surgery:

  • Good oral hygiene to be maintained after surgery by brushing & warm salt water rinses.
  • Strictly adhere to Doctors advise on usage of Antibiotics & Analgesics
  • Ice pack application after surgery to reduce the swelling
  • Sleep with head in elevated position with atleast 2 pillows to reduce swelling
  • Soft Diet advised for 3 months
  • Vaseline to be applied to the lips continuously
  • To avoid completely smoking & alcohol consumption until the wound heals.
  • Avoid high activity sports for a couple of months at least
  • The numbness of lower lip is expected initially & hence avoid any sharp injuries or excessive hot/cold
