What it is

Orthognathic surgery is used to realign the bones of the face and jaw to achieve proper facial and jaw alignment. The orthodontic treatment typically positions the jaws in the correct position.

The surgery is necessary in the presence of a variety of conditions, such as :

• Malocclusion (bad bite): massive overbites, underbites or crossbites.
• Inequalities in the face: bulging out chin or pulled back jaw.
• Functional issues: problems with chewing, speaking, or jaw pain.
• Sleep apnea: Severe breathing difficulties during sleep can be relieved by opening the jaw, thereby keeping the airway open.

Why Maxcare Dental and Implant Clinic?

At Maxcare Dental and Implant Clinic, Dr Hemant Kemkar, B.D.S., M.S. (England), specialises in these complex surgeries.

• Oral and maxillofacial experience: Dr Kemkar has an understanding of facial anatomy, hence authorising the safe shifting of jawbones to obtain improved structural function and appearance.
• Digital planning: We plan digitally using complex 3D tools and virtual planning, which enables us to map the jaw's movements in advance with predictable results.
• Comprehensive care: We collaborate closely with orthodontists in both the pre- and post-surgery scenarios to ensure a long-term and stable resolution.
