Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic) in Karnataka

Types of Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic)

Surgeons may perform a Le Fort osteotomy to reposition the upper jaw, a sagittal split osteotomy for the lower jaw, or both together in more complex cases, using rigid plates and screws to secure the bones in their new position. Distraction osteogenesis, a technique that gradually lengthens jawbone using a device over several weeks, is used in select cases, particularly involving significant jaw deficiency or in growing children.
