Maxillary orthognathic surgery is a corrective jaw procedure aimed at repositioning the upper jaw (maxilla) to improve function, aesthetics, and overall oral health. It is commonly performed to treat conditions such as malocclusion, jaw misalignment, facial asymmetry, and breathing difficulties like obstructive sleep apnea. Maxillary orthognathic surgery is performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons in collaboration with orthodontists. The surgery involves cutting and repositioning the maxilla, often using plates and screws for stabilization. Patients typically undergo orthodontic treatment before and after surgery to ensure proper dental alignment. The procedure enhances facial balance, improves chewing and speech function, and can have significant psychological benefits. Recovery takes several weeks, with initial swelling and dietary restrictions. Advanced techniques like 3D planning improve precision and outcomes.
