ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY
WHAT IS ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY?
It is a surgical intervention that corrects dento-cranio-maxillofacial deformities in order to achieve the balance between the facial features of the person. The Facial Clinic medical team studies the morphology and function of all elements of the face and cervical region. Through this analysis, the maxillofacial surgeon establishes a treatment plan to harmonize the face, both aesthetically and functionally. Orthognathic surgery is always a team work between the orthodontist and the maxillofacial surgeon. The success of the treatment is linked to the planning of the treatment. Thus, presurgical orthodontics aims to eliminate existing dental compensations and provide the surgeon with a stable and adequate structure between the upper and lower arches in order to carry out the planned skeletal movements. For its part, postsurgical orthodontics, has the mission of establishing an adequate final occlusion. Maxillofacial surgeons at Facial Clinic coordinate with orthodontists anywhere to be able to offer the patient a tailored treatment, in order to provide the necessary confidence to the patient.
3D PLANNING
Thanks to technological advances Facial Clinic has introduced three-dimensional planning in surgeries. With these softwares the maxillofacial surgeon can plan and simulate the surgery, while performing an analysis with cephalometric precision of each case.
Through 3D planning it is possible to reduce surgical time, as well as minimize errors and unforeseen events, and post-surgical trauma on the patient.
