Orthodontics
If there are aesthetic and functional problems in the face and especially the jawbones, and the person is at an adult age, orthognathic surgery is a treatment method that should be considered. The advantage of this treatment is that the disorder is not hidden dentally, on the contrary, it is resolved fundamentally. Orthognathic surgery treatment is a form of treatment planned and carried out by an orthodontist, and the surgery is performed by a maxillofacial surgeon or plastic surgeon. Orthognathic surgery is frequently applied in cases where the lower jaw is prominent (Mandibular prognathia), in cases where the jaw has grown to the side (Laterognathia), in cases where the anterior teeth do not cover each other (Anterior open bite). This is because these skeletal disorders often cannot be camouflaged with braces alone.
The thing that people who do research about orthognathic surgery treatment should pay attention to is that there is no magic or mysterious side in orthodontic or orthognathic surgery treatments, as in any treatment. In this sense, promotions such as non-surgical jaw correction treatment and non-surgical jaw enlargement, which are frequently seen in social media, should be approached carefully. Orthodontic treatment is a form of treatment that is completely tailored to the individual, whose borders are measured in millimeters and it is a cure without definite rules and magic formulas.
In other words, non-surgical face correction or non-surgical jaw expansion is not a treatment that can be applied to everyone and at any age. In this sense, before deciding on treatment, one should definitely be examined (by going personally, not online or with a photo) and both expectations and limits should be determined in precise detail.
Especially in dentistry treatments where aesthetic expectations are also important (orthodontics, orthognathic surgery, prosthetic treatments, etc.), the most important stage is patient expectation, predicting the results of the treatment and drawing the limits of the treatment realistically, is very important in the success of the treatment and in ensuring patient satisfaction. In this sense, both the patient and the physician should agree on a realistic and feasible treatment plan.
