Maxillofacial Surgery

What is Maxillofacial surgery?


Jaw and dental surgery is a branch of dentistry that covers jaw and dental problems where orthodontic treatments are not sufficient. Jaw and dental surgery deals especially with middle and upper level Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders and aims to offer ideal treatment solutions to the patient. Jaw surgery or dental surgery are some of the procedures that aim to show significant improvements and enhancements in the most basic functions such as chewing, speaking and breathing. These procedures not only provide a functional improvement to the patient’s oral and dental structure, but also help to achieve a more aesthetic appearance.


When is Maxillofacial surgery performed?


In cases where the jaw and the jaw bone grow abnormally during development, it is necessary to apply to jaw surgery methods. However, it should not be noted that most Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders occur during the developmental stage, and most of them are genetic. Therefore, especially in cases where children and young people in the developmental stage are faced with any TMJ disorder, it is important to intervene as quickly as possible and take the situation under control. In addition to hereditary factors, factors that require jaw and dental surgery may include inflammation of the jaw joints or hard impacts to the face. We can list the conditions that may require dental and maxillofacial surgery as follows:

  • Difficulty biting, chewing and swallowing
  • Chronic jaw pain
  • Damage to the teeth due to overuse
  • Facial asymmetry
  • Sleep Apnea
  • Intention to get rid of the condition called gummy smile
