Orthopedic jaw surgery is an intensive treatment technique for the teeth, jaw, and face. Orthopedic jaw surgery can bring about comprehensive changes in aesthetics as well as improve chewing function.
WHAT IS BACKGROUND SURGERY?
Some cases of misaligned bite such as overbite, underbite, open bite, crossbite, face deviation… often stem from abnormal jaw bone development. In these cases, impacting the teeth through orthodontics can hardly completely overcome the disadvantage. At that time, surgical intervention is required to pull, push, shorten or lengthen the jawbone to bring the bite back to the standard position.
Jaw surgery is a technique to repair the structure and relationship of the facial bones, thereby changing the shape of the face, bringing harmony and improving facial aesthetics. Besides, this technique also corrects the relationship between the two upper and lower teeth, improves the occlusal relationship, makes the smile more charming and improves chewing function.

Step 5: Post-operative care (at the hospital)
You will be careD after surgery at the hospital for about 07 days, then you will be discharged and rest at home.
Step 7: Orthodontics after surgery (at iMed dental)
After the surgery, you will continue to have orthodontic treatment at iMed for a few months to finish the treatment.
