What is a Jaw Correction?

It is very important for health that the upper and lower jaw offer a harmonious functionality. Orthognathic surgical procedures can be performed to treat disorders between the lower and upper jaw in order to have a Decently chewing, biting, breathing, swallowing and sleeping experience.

Surgical or non-surgical interventions performed to correct deformities in the jaw structure are included in the scope of jaw correction. Jaw correction procedures are generally performed to correct the anomalies in the patient's jaw, to balance the jaw line and to eliminate the dysfunctions in the jaw. In this way, it may be possible to correct problems related to the size, position or angles of the jaw. At the same time, a better appearance can be achieved aesthetically.

How is Jaw Correction Performed?

Surgery to advance and regress the lower and upper jaw bones with interventions to be performed on the lower and upper jaw bones in order to have a healthy mouth structure and biting function is called orthognathic surgery. Before and after the jaw correction surgery, the positions of the teeth are shaped separately with the support of the orthodontics department, and the treatment process is completed.

The patient is prepared by orthodontists. After the joint evaluation process, it is decided how many mm the jaws will be moved, whether only one upper jaw or one lower jaw will be intervened in the operation, or both jaws at once.

Radiographs and tomographs of the patient are taken before the jaw correction surgery. The operation is planned and the patient is photographed. The patient should quit smoking before surgery due to the risk of negatively affecting wound healing. In addition, heavy diet regimens should be avoided before surgery. Preoperative tests and anesthesia consultation are performed. In this way, the possible risks are evaluated before the operation. If necessary, it may be necessary to prepare blood for use in the operation.

The patient is taken to the surgery with a 6-hour hunger and the jaw correction surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Incisions are made through the mouth or through the skin. In this way, the lower jaw bone (mandible) and/or the upper jaw bone (maxilla) are reached. After cutting the bones from a suitable place, titanium plates or dissolvable plates are used to identify the bones.

After the bone detection procedure, stitches are made to the intraoral and skin incisions. A drain is placed to absorb the liquid that will accumulate in the area. It is possible that the materials used to fix the bones can remain for life or be removed at will after a few years.

Who is the Jaw Correction Applied To?

The cases in which jaw correction surgery or jaw disorder surgery can be performed are listed below:

  • Having a disfigurement of the person's lower and upper jaw or both jaws
  • The presence of asymmetry on the face
  • The tooth disorder is too severe to be corrected with braces only

Jaw disorders are usually caused by genetics. People with a jaw structure disorder usually have the same disorder in their mother, father, or very close relatives. In addition, jaw and facial injuries and accidents October passed at a young age can also cause jaw disorders. Some diseases that prevent breathing through the nose in children may cause jaw structure disorders at the end of the growth process.

The teeth are located on the jaw bones, and it is not enough to have only smooth teeth, an aesthetic appearance and correct functions. In other words, both the jaw structure and the teeth should be in the correct position. Accordingly, correcting only the teeth of people with jaw disorders does not ensure achieving the desired result.

Jaw disorders can cause both tooth and jaw functions to be performed correctly and smile aesthetics to be inaccessible. People with jaw structure disorders, on the one hand, may not be able to fully perform basic functions such as chewing and speech, on the other hand, while experiencing aesthetic disorders. In addition, jaw joint disorders, easy tooth decay, chronic dental traumas and tooth loss may occur due to a jaw disorder.

Advantages of Jaw Correction Treatment

Jaw correction treatment not only provides an aesthetic correction, but also does not provide functional benefits. Thanks to the movement of the jaws and teeth to the correct position, positive results can be achieved aesthetically and functionally.

Thanks to the jaw correction treatment, it is ensured that the facial features become more harmonious and balanced. As a result, a more aesthetically attractive and satisfying appearance can be accessed.

Jaw correction treatment, which allows the teeth and jaw to be straightened, helps to achieve a more natural and beautiful smile. As a result, a person's self-confidence and social life can be positively affected. Depending on the correction of the jaw, the patient's lips gain a fuller and more pronounced appearance.

Thanks to the correct position of the teeth, it is possible to chew food better. This also brings with it the advantage that the digestive system works more healthily. Correction of the jaw and teeth can also help to eliminate some speech disorders. Temporomandibular joint disorders are a disorder that occurs in the jaw joint, and it may be possible to alleviate or eliminate the symptoms of this disorder with jaw correction treatment. Jaw correction therapy can also help treat some cases of sleep apnea.

What are the Risks of Jaw Correction Treatment?

Jaw correction treatment brings with it many benefits if it is planned specifically for the patient by specialists and experienced dentists in the field and applied with the right techniques. Jaw correction surgery is a surgical procedure performed to bring the jaws and teeth into the correct position.

Jaw correction surgery, like any surgical procedure, brings with it the risk of anesthesia. After surgery, there is usually a slight bleeding that passes on its own at a slight level and within a short period of time. In order to minimize the risk of developing a possible infection, antibiotics should be used and proper wound care should be applied. There is a risk of facial scarring after surgery. However, it is out of the question that these scars become pale and lose their distinctiveness over time.

There is a risk of nerve damage during jaw correction treatment. This may lead to permanent drowsiness in some cases, temporary in some cases. Although it is possible to feel sensitivity in the teeth after surgery, this condition usually resolves on its own within a few weeks. There may be gum irritation after surgery. If the necessary attention is not paid to oral hygiene, gum diseases may occur due to irritation.

In some cases, a melt in the jawbone may occur after jaw correction treatment. There may also be problems with opening the mouth. Such problems, which are temporary, can usually be resolved with physical therapy.

Ich komme aus der Schweiz und litt unter Zahnfleischproblemen sowie Knochenschwund im Kiefer. Während andere Kliniken vorschlugen, die betroffenen Zähne zu ziehen und durch Implantate zu ersetzen, entschied ich mich aufgrund meiner bereits vorhandenen Implantate im Unterkiefer und des dortigen Knochenschwunds, zunächst eine Behandlung des Zahnfleisches im Oberkiefer in Betracht zu ziehen. Die MosDent-Klinik empfahl mir eine Flap-Operation inklusive Knochenaufbau, die wir schließlich durchführten. Nun heißt es abwarten und Tee trinken 😉, bis alles verheilt ist.

I had a wonderful experience at Mostdent Clinic. I came in to get a few fillings done, and everything went perfectly. The doctor was very gentle, professional, and explained each step, which helped me feel relaxed and confident. The quality of the work is excellent, and the entire team was friendly and caring. From the reception to the dental chair everything was smooth and organized. I’m really happy with the results and highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for high-quality dental care in Turkey)

I want to sincerely thank Mostdent Clinic for their excellent care. I came in initially for a crown, but during the examination, they found several hidden problems and immediately helped me build a clear and affordable treatment plan. Dr. Oksana handled most of the treatment – she did fillings and cleaned root canals under a microscope. Everything was done with precision and care, even in the most difficult cases. Dr. Muhammed Bahadır successfully removed the crown of my wisdom tooth. The procedure was quick and painless, which I had been really nervous about – but he did it professionally and calmly. Dr. Pelinsu Yıkılmaz placed new CEREC Celtra Duo crowns for me. She worked with great precision and care, and the whole procedure was smooth and fast. I’m very satisfied with the result — the crowns feel natural and comfortable. I also want to thank Özgür, the clinic coordinator. He stayed in contact the whole time, reminded me about my appointments, helped with any questions, and made everything feel organized and stress-free. This clinic truly combines professionalism with a caring attitude. I highly recommend them!

I'd like to thank the entire team, especially Ömer Faruk, for their dedication and support. They are the definitive go-to for all dental procedures.

I can describe Mosdent as more than just a clinic, but a center for health and smiles. Their attentiveness, high-quality communication, commitment to hygiene, and patient-centered approach from day one are truly remarkable. I never felt alone throughout my treatment; every step was clearly explained. I achieved excellent results, both health-wise and aesthetically. Their doctors, assistants, and consultants demonstrate true teamwork. I extend my sincere gratitude to the Mosdent family for their hard work and friendly smiles.

I came for treatment with the reference of my relatives, and they are a clinic that I am very satisfied with, both in terms of service quality and the care, knowledge and experience of the doctors. Thank you :)
