person holding their jaw in Double jaw surgery (bimaxillary osteotomy) addresses jaw abnormalities on both the upper and the lower jaw. This surgery fixes both skeletal and functional issues in the jawbone.
Facial symmetry
You could be having jaw misalignment, a gummy smile, or a small chin. Whatever the deformity, double jaw surgery will increase the harmony of your face symmetry. Amending facial irregularity is a sure boost to your self-confidence. Facial anomalies often cause one to be super conscious of how people look and interact with them. When the bite function is addressed, you can chew and speak comfortably without straining.
Treating sleep apnea
Sleep apnea is a medical condition characterized by breathing pauses in the night as one is sleeping. During the breathing pauses, sleep is significantly interrupted. Not only does one have to gasp for air but can also cause bruxism. Bruxism is the involuntary grinding of teeth and clenching of the jaw. Too much grinding and clenching causes fractures and jaw misalignment as well.
Double jaw surgery increases the size of the airway by repositioning both jaws. When the airway is opened up and widened, breathing is improved as you sleep. Double jaw surgery offers a permanent solution as compared to mouth guards that keep the airway open during the night. Bimaxillary osteotomy reduces obstructive sleep apnea episodes and snoring as well. That way you get to enjoy long periods of uninterrupted sleep.
Modifying jaw irregularities
Double jaw surgery is an effective treatment for jaw and teeth misalignment. Among the jaw irregularities, we have overbites, open bites, asymmetrical jaws, underbites, and jaw overlaps. It offers a long-term solution as well which makes it ideal. The long-term results eliminate the need to have other dental and orthodontic works. Jaw surgery could pose some risks. However, the benefits outweigh the risks involved. Rest assured our doctors will take you through all the nitty gritty aspects of the surgery before settling for one. Besides, our doctors are qualified and have amassed loads of experience over time.
