SURGICAL REHABILITATION OR ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Orthognathic surgery is indicated when the upper and lower jaws are not aligned harmoniously. When, for example, there is space\u00a0between the teeth, even after\u00a0they are aligned by the orthodontist, or when the teeth have insufficient space to align in the jaws. The teeth must be realigned by orthodontic treatment and then orthognathic surgery is performed to align the jaws. This not only restores facial harmony for the\u00a0person but also restores the masticatory function by ensuring that the teeth mesh perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patients who usually require orthognathic surgery are those who have chewing problems, or whose jaws are not aligned properly (chin too far forward or too far back). The poor positioning of the jawbones can lead to various problems, such as slurred speech, chewing problems and health problems in general. Trauma or certain congenital malformations may also be indications for orthognathic surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have difficulties in these areas consider talking to your surgeon:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Orthognathic surgery is an intervention that is planned a long time in advance, and that is done in a multidisciplinary way between different doctors: dentists, orthodontists, and maxillofacial surgeons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Nathalie Portier-Marret\u00a0trained in post-graduate orthognathic surgery for 6 months in a large center of European orthognathic surgery (Center Hospitalier de Lyon Sud).<\/p>\n\n\n\n A thorough radiological study and clinical examination must be done in a systematic way to precisely determine \u00a0the type of treatment to be considered. Before surgery, plaster models will be made to simulate the future position of your jaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This important surgery is prepared and analyzed many months in advance in a multidisciplinary way between the dentist, the orthodontist and the Maxillofacial surgeon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The surgical techniques used will be explained at length and shown in diagram and video form according to each particular case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
