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 1: Clinical examination and making surgical records (at iMed dental)
Your doctor will examine and make a preliminary assessment of your oral health and problems. During this initial session, you will need to take some film X-rays, take pictures, take impressions, record clips and 3D scan facial images for medical records.

After analyzing and evaluating bone and tooth indexes based on the collected data, the doctor will make a specific diagnosis and treatment plan (including technique, implementation time, estimated cost). Persons under the age of 18 or those who have not yet made their own decisions about a treatment plan need a guardian to accompany them to this session.

If your doctor prescribes orthodontic treatment before surgery, you will have a period of examination and treatment at iMed dental. In case the doctor appoints surgery first, you will go to iMed to attach the brackets and try the surgical tray.
Step 4: Surgery (at the hospital)
The general physical examination and surgery with anesthesia will be performed at the hospital. The surgery will take about 2-6 hours depending on the treatment plan as well as the difficulty of the surgery.
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.
