ORTHOGNATHIC AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY
Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective surgery, is undertaken by
specialist oral and maxillofacial surgeons to correct the mandible and
conditions associated with the mandible by placing the jaw and or the maxilla
(cheek) in a new and more natural position. It is usually reserved for
conditions that cannot be corrected with braces alone. There is a range of
surgeries within orthognathic surgery, from genioplasty to sagittal split
osteotomy and Maxillomandibular advancement (Bimaxillar advancement/Bimax).
WHY SHOULD I GET ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY?
Orthognathic and maxillofacial surgery is designed for people with dentofacial
deformities. It is estimated that around 1 in 10-20 of the UK population suffer
from such deformities and that these deformities are not solved by orthodontic
treatment (braces).
Orthognathic surgery can be used to treat misplaced mandibles, be it one’s jaw
is too far forward (underbite) or too far back (overbite). Orthognathic surgery
can also be used when the deformity is causing secondary effects on the
individual, such as sleep apnoea or affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ),
giving rise to pain. Everyone is assessed individually by our network of
clinicians, who will take the time to evaluate before explaining treatment
options.
ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY / MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY PROCEDURE EXPLAINED
It isn’t easy to outline the procedure fully, as everyone is assessed
individually. Most people will be required to wear braces for some time before
any surgery to get the teeth into the position needed for correction. Most
procedures require you to stay in hospital for a few days and will be performed
under general anaesthetic. Most procedures will mean you are swollen with
temporary numbness of the nerves around the face, causing some bruising. You may
be supplied with a special cooling mask to help reduce the swelling and the
pain.
Most orthognathic and maxillofacial procedures will require you to have a soft
diet to start with and may need you to continue this for 6 weeks as the bone
heals.
RISKS OF ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY
The risks should always be discussed at length with the surgeon performing the
procedure, but generally speaking, the risks of this procedure can include:
* Pain
* Bleeding
* Infection
* Scaring (although most work is done intra-orally)
* Damage to nerves leading to change sensation cheek, chin, lips, teeth
* Weakness in facial muscles
* Overcorrection or under correction leading to less desired look than planned
* Mal-occlusion
* Fracture of bones during the procedure
* Further procedures may be indicated
HOW MUCH DOES ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY COST?
1. Privately, the average cost for this procedure is difficult to state, as
prices can range between £2,500-£20,000 or potentially more due to the
numerous procedures associated with this treatment and the different desired
effects for every patient.
2. This treatment is available on the NHS if a specific health condition
requires it.
