Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery) – Restore Function and Facial Harmony

Jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a specialized procedure designed to correct skeletal and dental irregularities in the jaw and facial structure. This surgical intervention helps improve chewing, speaking, breathing, and overall facial aesthetics by realigning the upper jaw (maxilla), lower jaw (mandible), or both.

At Daant Guru Dental Clinic, Dr. Nayab and her team provide advanced orthognathic surgical solutions for patients experiencing difficulties due to misaligned jaws, congenital conditions, or trauma. Jaw surgery is often performed in collaboration with orthodontic treatment to achieve optimal results, ensuring proper bite alignment and a balanced facial profile.

Whether you are dealing with an underbite, overbite, facial asymmetry, or obstructive sleep apnea, jaw surgery can significantly enhance both function and appearance—restoring confidence and improving oral health. Our clinic combines cutting-edge technology with personalized care to ensure safe, effective, and comfortable treatment for every patient.

Ideal Candidate and Considerations

Jaw surgery, or orthognathic surgery, is recommended for individuals experiencing significant jaw misalignment, facial asymmetry, or functional issues related to chewing, speaking, or breathing. You may be an ideal candidate if you have:

Severe Bite Issues: Overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite that cannot be corrected with braces alone.
Jaw Pain or TMJ Disorders: Chronic jaw discomfort, difficulty opening and closing your mouth, or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction.
Breathing Difficulties: Conditions such as sleep apnea or airway obstruction caused by jaw positioning.
Facial Asymmetry: Noticeable imbalance in facial proportions due to jaw misalignment.
Speech or Chewing Issues: Difficulty in proper speech articulation or ineffective chewing due to jaw positioning.

Considerations Before Undergoing Jaw Surgery

Age and Jaw Growth: Ideal candidates should have completed jaw growth, typically around late adolescence.
Orthodontic Treatment: Braces are often required before and after surgery to properly align the teeth.
Recovery Time: Healing can take several weeks to months, requiring dietary modifications and lifestyle adjustments.
Potential Risks: As with any surgery, understanding risks such as swelling, numbness, or healing complications is essential.

Dr. Nayab at Daant Guru Dental Clinic will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine if jaw surgery is the right solution for your needs, ensuring optimal function and aesthetics for long-term oral health.

What to Expect During Your Dental Visit at Daant Guru Dental Clinic

At Daant Guru Dental Clinic, we prioritize patient comfort, safety, and successful outcomes for every orthognathic (jaw) surgery. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

1. Comprehensive Consultation & Evaluation

During your initial appointment, Dr. Nayab will conduct a thorough evaluation of your jaw alignment, bite, and facial structure. Using advanced digital X-rays, 3D imaging, and diagnostic models, we will assess the severity of the condition and determine the best course of action. A detailed treatment plan will be discussed, outlining the procedure, expected results, and recovery timeline.

2. Pre-Surgical Preparations

For most patients, orthodontic treatment (braces or Invisalign) is required before jaw surgery to properly align the teeth. We collaborate closely with orthodontists to ensure your teeth are in the optimal position before surgery. Pre-surgical records, including impressions and photographs, will be taken to aid in surgical planning.

3. The Surgery Process

Jaw surgery is typically performed in a hospital setting under general anesthesia. Dr. Nayab will reposition your upper, lower, or both jaws to achieve proper alignment. The procedure may involve reshaping bones, adding grafts, or securing the jaw with plates and screws for stability. Our team will ensure you are well-informed and confident before the procedure.

4. Post-Surgical Recovery & Care

After surgery, a healing period of several weeks is necessary. Swelling, mild discomfort, and restricted jaw movement are common initially. We will provide post-operative care instructions, dietary guidelines, and pain management solutions to aid in a smooth recovery. Follow-up visits at Daant Guru Dental Clinic will be scheduled to monitor your progress and ensure optimal healing.

5. Long-Term Follow-Up & Final Adjustments

As healing progresses, additional orthodontic adjustments may be needed to fine-tune your bite. Dr. Nayab and our team will work closely with your orthodontist to ensure your jaw and teeth achieve perfect functional and aesthetic outcomes.

At Daant Guru Dental Clinic, we are committed to delivering expert care with a personalized approach, ensuring a seamless jaw surgery experience from consultation to recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions can be treated with jaw surgery at Daant Guru Dental Clinic?

Jaw surgery, or orthognathic surgery, is performed to correct a variety of conditions, including misaligned jaws, severe overbite or underbite, facial asymmetry, difficulty in chewing or speaking, obstructive sleep apnea, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Dr. Nayab at Daant Guru Dental Clinic carefully evaluates each patient’s condition to determine if surgery is the best treatment option.

How do I know if I need jaw surgery?

If you experience problems such as difficulty chewing, chronic jaw pain, speech issues, or breathing difficulties due to jaw misalignment, you may be a candidate for jaw surgery. Dr. Nayab will perform a thorough examination, including digital X-rays and bite analysis, during your consultation at Daant Guru Dental Clinic, to determine if orthognathic surgery is necessary for you.

What is the recovery process like after jaw surgery?

Jaw surgery typically requires a recovery period of 6 to 12 weeks. Initially, you may experience swelling, mild discomfort, and a restricted diet. We provide detailed post-operative care instructions, including dietary guidelines, pain management, and follow-up visits to ensure optimal healing. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks and follow Dr. Nayab’s recommendations closely for the best recovery outcomes.

Will I need braces before or after jaw surgery?

In most cases, orthodontic treatment with braces or Invisalign is required before and after jaw surgery to ensure proper alignment of the teeth and jaw. Before surgery, braces are used to position your teeth in the correct position for the surgical procedure. After surgery, further orthodontic adjustments may be needed to refine your bite and enhance the final results. Dr. Nayab will coordinate your treatment plan with an orthodontist for a comprehensive approach.

Is jaw surgery performed at Daant Guru Dental Clinic, or will I be referred to a hospital?

Jaw surgery is a complex procedure that is typically performed in a hospital or specialized surgical center under general anesthesia. However, all pre-surgical diagnostics, treatment planning, and post-operative care are provided at Daant Guru Dental Clinic by Dr. Nayab. We ensure a seamless transition between our clinic and the surgical facility, working closely with experienced maxillofacial surgeons to give you the best outcome.
