Jaw Contouring / Jaw Repair
Jaw repair is a surgical procedure performed to restore the structure, function, and alignment of the jaw. The jaw plays an essential role in important activities such as chewing, speaking, and maintaining the overall balance of the facial structure. Damage or deformities in the jaw may occur due to trauma, fractures, developmental conditions, infections, or previous surgical complications. Jaw repair procedures aim to correct these issues and restore normal jaw function.
II. When do you need a Jaw Contouring surgery?
The need for surgery generally falls into two categories:
a. Function Related
Malaligned (misaligned) jaws can cause:
- Difficulty in chewing and speaking.
- TMJ problems (jaw joint pain).
- Disrupted sleep and breathing issues, such as sleep apnoea and snoring.
b. Cosmetic Concerns
Various skeletal deformities can affect overall aesthetic appearance, including:
- Gummy smile (Vertical maxillary excess).
- Anterior-posterior discrepancies of the maxilla.
- Constricted arch.
Pre-Surgical Preparation
The notes outline several steps required before undergoing these surgeries:
- Pre-surgical Orthodontics: Often needed before the actual surgery takes place. Imaging: X-rays and CT scans are required.
- Planning: Virtual surgical planning is performed on a computer, along with model surgery.
- Psychological Evaluation: Conducted to ensure a successful outcome for the patient.
Post-Surgical Recovery
- Hospital Stay: Typically lasts approximately 3-4 days.
- Discharge Criteria: Patients can be discharged once they can start taking soft food orally and can perform day-to-day activities by themselves.
