Orthognetic surgery

Orthognetic surgery: renovation of aesthetic facial proportions

It is not infrequent that modern dentistry comes across such cases when restoration of anatomic occlusion doesn’t fully satisfy the client because it doesn’t match his or her face, or doesn’t restore facial proportions. Adult patients face this problem most often as growth and shaping of upper and lower jaw are fully complete and non-surgical therapy cannot possibly change anything.

Different kinds of dental anomaly combined with asymmetrical face and its distortion make one look unattractive. Discontent with own appearance causes psychological problems, complaints about life, and offences at the whole world. Having such problems it’s harder to start a family and build a successful career.
