Jaw surgery:
The cases where there are deformities in the jaws that lead to asymmetry in the face and facial deviations … In these cases we can resort to maxillofacial surgery to correct the deformation in the bones of the face and jaws … This is what we call orthopedic facial surgery and the surgical option is the required option
This is when orthodontic treatments are unable to find solutions to the picture of symmetry and facial and maximal coordination
Among the term jaw surgery also we address the problems that occur in the salivary glands in general and the ducts of the salivary glands in which enlargement occurs due to the presence of salivary stones
Also includes jaw surgery:
-Fractures of the upper jaw of all kinds, whether simple (fixed)
-Or complex (substituted) fractures
-Sometimes fractures that go beyond fractures of the temporomandibular joint
Upper jaw surgery:
Upper jawbone:
It is primarily a bone process ..
And resort to it when the maxillary bone is huge originally .. In this process, the doctor resort to treating the bone, either by lifting the bone or shortening it to reduce its visibility from the face ..
Chin surgery:
It is a qualitative case ..
Either the chin is underdeveloped or the chin bone has retreated to a large degree and is associated with cases of malocclusion … where most cases of jaw malocclusion are associated with either excessive growth of the chin bone or the small size of the chin and lower jaw in general.
Where the maxillofacial surgeon usually reconstructs the chin bone (in the case of a small chin size), performs a bone cut in the front chin bone, moves it forward and securely fastens it to the appropriate position of the facial profile and the upper and lower dental plates.
