| Orthognathic surgery |
Orthognathic surgery, also known as double jaw surgery surgically corrects the upper and lower jaws and adjusts them in the
correct position. The procedure is suitable for conditions including mandibular
prognathism, mouth protrusion, facial asymmetry, and other abnormal positioning
of the jaw.
Traditionally, braces were required
to be worn 1 to 1.5 years prior to surgery. The double Jaw surgery method
originating from ID Hospital, Surgery-First Approach Orthognathic surgery is an
innovative procedure that has shortened the whole surgery time by eliminating
the braces prior to surgery. After the surgery, a wafer is worn for one month
followed by braces. Usually, depending on the cases, braces are required after
the surgery to re-align the bite.

| Orthognathic surgery Before and After |
There are many types of orthognathic
surgery, so the right type of surgery is determined during consultation, after
X-ray and 3D CT scans, to make a customized surgical plan.

V-line surgery, also known as jaw reduction surgery, actually includes two types of
surgeries. Jaw reduction is done to reduce the size of the jaw bone (mandible
angle) and a chin genioplasty surgery is done to reduce or extend the chin
bone.
Just like the orthognathic surgery, there
are different types of methods for the V-line surgery, and osteotomy methods
differ. Dia-osteotomy, T-osteotomy, etc. are recommended by the surgeon upon reviewing
a patient’s X-rays. The golden ratio is used to determine the ideal proportion
for a patient’s face.
Important things to keep in mind before
going for any types of facial bone surgeries:
1. Experience level of the surgeon
is important, so selection of the surgeon is vital and can make all the
difference in the type of results you get.
2. The safety level of the
facilities you select to have your surgery at.
3. The types of pre-surgery examination and post-surgery care.
4. Managing the surgery results,
by following all the instructions given, and exercising the jaw to help it heal
faster
