Orthognathic or jaw surgery in Piedras Negras - Maxillofacial surgeon
Orthognathic surgery is a specialized procedure used to correct a wide range of conditions affecting the jaw and facial structure. It is performed to address issues such as bite problems, facial asymmetry, TMJ, and breathing difficulties related to skeletal abnormalities.
The procedure may also involve the use of orthodontics to ensure that the teeth are properly aligned with the new jaw position.
Patients should expect to undergo general anesthesia for the duration of the procedure, which typically lasts several hours. After the surgery, patients may experience some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with pain medication and cold compresses. A liquid or soft food diet is typically recommended for a period of time after the surgery to allow the jaw to heal.
