Jaw surgery

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is an important branch of dentistry and oral and facial surgery, and includes a group of procedures aimed at diagnosing and treating structural and functional problems in the jaws and their surrounding areas.

These procedures include several different surgical techniques used to treat a variety of conditions, including:

  • Open jaw surgery: It is used to treat cases of congenital or acquired jaw separation, where the jaw is opened surgically, redirected to its correct position, and stabilized using surgical stabilization techniques.
  • Jaw correction surgery: It is used to treat jaw deformities such as high or low jaw, and includes procedures such as shortening or lengthening the jaw using orthopedic surgical techniques.
  • Nasal jaw surgery: Used to treat breathing problems or obstruction in the upper respiratory tract, and may include procedures such as tonsillectomy or correction of nasal deformities.
  • Jaw implants: used to implant artificial bones or dental implants in the jaws, and these operations are used to replace bone or tooth loss.
  • Tumor surgery in the jaws: It is used to remove cancerous or benign tumors that appear in the jaws or the tissues surrounding them.
  • 3D Maxillofacial Surgery: This technology uses 3D image analysis to plan and perform surgeries more accurately, reducing risks and improving results.

Jaw surgery must be performed by specialized and experienced surgeons, and the procedure requires careful diagnosis and good planning before surgery.

The main goal of these procedures is to improve the function of the jaws and eliminate pain and deformities that may affect speech, breathing and chewing, thus improving the quality of life of patients.
