Orthognathic surgery is an important procedure performed to correct disorders in the jaw structure. However, the success of this surgery depends not only on the surgery but also on the preoperative preparation process.
So, is orthodontic treatment necessary before orthognathic surgery?
Yes, orthodontic treatment is necessary. Orthodontic treatment prior to orthognathic surgery is of vital importance for the correct positioning of the teeth. In order for your jaw to be fixed in the ideal position, the teeth must be aligned in a regular and symmetrical manner.
Why is it so important?
- When the teeth are not aligned correctly, the jaw cannot be positioned properly.
- Chewing, speech and aesthetic results may be adversely affected.
- Postoperative recovery may be difficult.
Therefore, orthodontic preparation before surgery is a critical step for a successful and permanent result.
