Advanced Maxillofacial Solutions in Al Shahama
If you struggle with difficulty chewing, speaking, chronic jaw pain, or facial imbalance, corrective jaw surgery—also known as orthognathic surgery—may be the solution you’ve been searching for. At Al Bustan Plus Medical Center in Al Shahama, Abu Dhabi, our expert maxillofacial surgeons perform life-changing jaw procedures that improve both function and appearance.
In this blog, we’ll guide you through everything you need to know about corrective jaw surgery, from what it involves to how it can transform your smile and your quality of life.
What Is Corrective Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery)?
Corrective jaw surgery is a specialized procedure performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons to align the jaws when orthodontics alone isn’t enough. This surgery corrects skeletal discrepancies in the upper jaw (maxilla), lower jaw (mandible), or both, resulting in improved bite alignment, breathing, and facial symmetry.
Who Needs Corrective Jaw Surgery?
Corrective jaw surgery may be recommended for patients who experience:
- Difficulty biting, chewing, or swallowing
- Speech problems due to jaw misalignment
- Chronic jaw or TMJ pain
- Obstructive sleep apnea
- Facial asymmetry or deformities
- Receding chin or underdeveloped jaw
- Open bite or protruding jaw
If you’re located in Abu Dhabi or Al Shahama and suffer from these symptoms, a consultation with our maxillofacial surgery team can help you understand your options.
Types of Corrective Jaw Surgery
Depending on your diagnosis, our surgeon may recommend one or a combination of the following procedures:
1. Maxillary Osteotomy (Upper Jaw Surgery)
Corrects:
- Crossbite
- Open bite
- Overbite
- Midface hypoplasia
2. Mandibular Osteotomy (Lower Jaw Surgery)
Corrects:
- Underbite
- Protruding or receding lower jaw
3. Genioplasty (Chin Surgery)
Often performed alongside jaw surgery to enhance facial balance.
The Step-by-Step Treatment Process at Al Bustan Plus
At Al Bustan Plus Medical Center in Al Shahama, we follow a comprehensive process to ensure the best outcomes:
1. Initial Consultation
We begin with a thorough clinical exam, medical history review, facial photographs, and CBCT 3D imaging to plan your treatment.
2. Orthodontic Preparation
Braces or clear aligners are usually required before and after surgery to align the teeth correctly.
3. Surgical Planning
Using 3D simulation technology, we plan jaw movements with precision for optimal functional and aesthetic results.
4. Surgery
Performed under general anesthesia, the jawbones are repositioned and secured with titanium plates and screws.
5. Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients return to normal activities within 2–4 weeks. Full healing and final results may take 3–6 months.
