Orthognathic Surgery in Jaipur | Corrective Jaw Surgery by Dr. Sushrut Kalra
Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, is a specialized procedure that repositions the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both, to restore proper facial balance and bite alignment. Jaw misalignment isn't just a cosmetic concern, it can also cause real functional issues, including difficulty chewing, speech problems, and in some cases, sleep related breathing issues.
Dr. Sushrut Kalra specializes in precise orthognathic surgery in Jaipur, using detailed 3D imaging and planning to map out the exact jaw movement before surgery. Working closely with your orthodontist, this careful planning helps ensure your teeth align properly and your jaw sits in a stable, balanced position.
How Orthognathic Surgery Restores Function and Balance
-
Precise Bone Repositioning Depending on your specific needs, the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both are carefully repositioned to correct bite and facial balance.
-
Detailed Surgical Planning Your facial structure is mapped digitally before surgery, allowing the surgical team to plan bone movement with a high level of precision.
-
Secure, Stable Fixation Titanium plates and screws are used to hold the repositioned bones securely in place, supporting a comfortable, faster recovery.
-
Working Alongside Your Orthodontist Treatment is coordinated with your orthodontist, aligning the teeth before surgery so everything fits together properly once the jaw is repositioned.
-
Improving Airway Space For patients with jaw related sleep apnea, repositioning the jaw can help widen the airway, offering a structural solution to breathing difficulties during sleep.
