What is Cosmognathic Surgery?
Orthognathic surgery, also known as Cosmognathic surgery, involves moving the jaws and teeth into a new position to fix misalignment issues. General anaesthesia is used during the procedure, which corrects overbites, underbites, open bites, and crossbites. If you have jaw and tooth misalignments that cannot be addressed with orthodontic therapy alone, you may be a candidate for Cosmognathic surgery, which may enhance the functioning and aesthetics of your smile.
Common Dental Issues treated with Cosmognathic Surgery
Cosmognathic Surgery is a type of dental surgery that deals with the correction of skeletal and dental problems in the jaw and teeth. This surgery is recommended for people who have dental or skeletal deformities that cannot be corrected by orthodontic treatment or other dental procedures. Some of the common dental issues that can be treated with Cosmognathic Surgery include:
Malocclusion: This is a dental condition where the teeth are not aligned properly, resulting in an incorrect bite.
Jaw deformities: This condition can be caused by genetics, trauma, or injury and can affect the shape and size of the jaw.
Sleep apnea: This condition causes breathing difficulties during sleep, and it can be caused by a narrow or obstructed airway.
Types of Cosmognathic Surgery Treatments
There are several types of Cosmognathic Surgery treatments and procedures that can be used to correct dental problems. The type of surgery recommended will depend on the severity of the dental condition and the patient’s individual needs. Some of the common types of Cosmognathic Surgery treatments and procedures include:
Maxillary Osteotomy: This is a surgical procedure that involves moving the upper jaw to correct dental problems such as an open bite, crossbite, or an underbite.
Mandibular Osteotomy: This procedure involves moving the lower jaw to correct dental problems such as an overbite, an underbite, or a crossbite.
Genioplasty: This is a surgical procedure that involves changing the shape and size of the chin to improve the overall appearance of the face.
Orthognathic Surgery: This is a combination of maxillary and mandibular osteotomy procedures to correct severe dental problems.
