Orthognathic Surgery in Mexico City
Orthognathic surgery corrects dentofacial deformities by repositioning the maxilla, the mandible and, when needed, the chin. The goal is to improve bite/occlusion, function (chewing and biting), facial harmony, and improve the airway.
Applications of Orthognathic Surgery
- Chin correction.
- Mandibular prognathism correction.
- Maxillary hypoplasia correction.
- Mandibular asymmetry correction.
- Vertical maxillary excess correction.
Airway
One of the goals of orthognathic surgery is to improve the airway
Correcting jaw position can help improve the airway space in selected patients, as part of a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment plan.
Osteosynthesis material (plates and screws)
Today, in most cases, we use materials to stabilize the bones known as osteosynthesis materials, including plates and screws made of stainless steel and/or titanium.
