Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery · Dortmund

When does jaw surgery ensure the right bite?

If orthodontic treatment alone is not sufficient to achieve optimal interlocking of the dentition (normal occlusion) or to alleviate discomfort caused by malocclusion, surgical repositioning of the upper or lower jaw may be the only solution for affected patients. As a rule, such a procedure is performed in combination with orthodontic therapy.

A misaligned jaw (dysgnathia) can lead to other significant complaints and illnesses in addition to the stressful aesthetic impairment of the face. For this reason, jaw realignment surgery should also be considered in adulthood. Although braces can be used to move teeth in adult patients, they can no longer correct the position of the jawbones, meaning that only surgery can provide a permanent remedy.

Good reasons for jaw surgery in Dortmund include aesthetic impairment of the facial profile, jaw pain, cracking of the temporomandibular joint, back and neck tension, headache, problems with biting and chewing, digestive problems, insufficient ventilation of the airways as well as tooth damage up to impending tooth loss.
