Jaw Surgery in Islamabad

A properly aligned jaw is crucial for chewing, speaking, and breathing; the facial structures of your face rely on this element to achieve an attractive and symmetrically appealing look. However, you can have problems with an overbite, underbite, open bite, or your facial asymmetry or misaligned jaw could contribute to loss of self-esteem and can significantly impact both your functions. Jaw surgery could be an appropriate choice when your facial and structural irregularities can’t be remedied through orthodontics alone. 

At JJ Aesthetics, our surgeon will tailor your treatment plan to your unique jaw and facial profile. 

We’ll take the time needed to consider not only any aesthetic concerns you have, but the functional nature of your treatment as well, and plan your surgery accordingly with state-of-the-art technology to create truly natural results.

What is Jaw Surgery?

Jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) is surgery on the jaws to set right any misalignments. These procedures realign parts or all of the jaw when orthodontics can only do part of the job of fixing underlying skeletal structure issues. Depending on your needs, a procedure can focus on the upper jaw (maxilla), lower jaw (mandible), or both.

Jaw surgery might help with:

• Correcting jaw misalignment;
• Correcting your bite and chewing function;
• Addressing facial asymmetry;
• Addressing facial proportions
• Certain kinds of open bites and underbites
• Reducing any jaw–related functional problem; and
• Creating facial balance

Who is a Candidate for Jaw Surgery?

A suitable candidate for jaw surgery is generally someone who is experiencing, but not limited to, the following issues:

• Significant overbites and underbites.
• Open bite that resulted from an overgrowth of the jaws, or lack of growth.
• Severe facial asymmetries- imbalance or unevenness on both sides of the face.
• Difficulty chewing and problems with mastication.
• Persistent speech problems.
• Facial problems with oral functioning.
• Large jaw misalignment that cannot be rectified by braces only.
• Functional disarrangement between the lower and upper jaw.

We will examine all aspects of your jaw, tooth alignment, and bite structure during your initial assessment. Additionally, any medical history relevant to jaw surgery is reviewed to ensure safety for every patient.

At JJ Aesthetics, our jaw specialist thoroughly evaluates your unique oral anatomy, bite, overall bone structure of your face, and the potential benefits and risks before determining if you would benefit from jaw surgery. Your treatment objectives will also be considered.

Types of Jaw Surgery:

1. Upper Jaw Surgery
2. Lower Jaw Surgery
3. DoubleJawSurgery
4. Chin Surgery

5. Upper Jaw Surgery:

It is performed on the maxilla or upper part of the jaw, when some correction is needed regarding your bite and facial structure. These can include bite or symmetry issues, for example, when upper and lower jaw misalignment and/or underbite is visible, open bite, or facial asymmetry is observed.

1. The lower jaw surgery:

It corrects the position of your jaw in relation to other facial structures or parts and may be recommended in cases where the lower jaw has an underdeveloped or enlarged appearance (underbite or overbite). 

1. Double jaw surgery:

It involves correction in both upper and lower jaw position simultaneously and may be recommended for both issues contributing to a significant skeletal or bite problem. This procedure allows for a greater range of correction in facial and Dental-bite alignment.

1. Chin Surgery:

Genioplasty, or surgery to enhance the Chin position and profile. Often done in conjunction with corrective surgery to improve overall harmony of facial proportions.

What To Expect Post –Operation?

Following jaw surgery, you may experience considerable swelling in your face for several days and even a few weeks after you are home. The recovery may take as long as six weeks or longer. After surgery, you’ll be on a liquid or soft-food diet for several days because you won’t be able to fully chew. 

You should remain cautious to avoid oral surgery issues.

We will prescribe pain management to control discomfort, and you need to follow our instructions for both rest and healing. Dental appliances may continue to be worn throughout and after treatment. Your surgeons’ care, dental and orthodontic assistance help to facilitate the natural progression of healing, bite correction, and the achievement of optimal cosmetic and structural goals.

Benefits of jaw surgery:

The following are possible benefits of jaw surgery with JJ Aesthetics:

More correctly aligned jaws:

Surgery can improve or correct incorrectly aligned jaws, creating a more harmonious occlusion and relationship between the upper and lower jaws.

More efficient and comfortable biting and chewing:

Surgical correction of jaw misalignment can increase the efficiency and comfort of biting and chewing.

Enhanced facial symmetry:

Where there is skeletal facial asymmetry (jaw not in the center of the face), correcting the jaws can create greater facial proportions of the face.

Improved facial profile:

Surgery to reposition the jaw can improve the appearance of the profile to present a more correctly proportioned face.

Improved speech and function:

In selected cases, correction of an abnormality of the jaw can benefit some functional issues.

More permanent results:

With correct healing and completion of the treatment, a structural alteration can lead to long-term results.
