Orthodontic surgery

This pathology cannot be treated with braces or other orthodontic devices only, as in such cases a patient needs an orthognathic surgery.

Orthognathic surgery is the type of treatment that involves a surgical correction of occlusion and facial profile by changing the shape of the jaws and their spatial movement in the intended direction.

At Dobrobut clinic chain, this service is provided by the highly-qualified team of maxillo-facial surgeons after a comprehensive examination and computer modeling of the surgery and its results.

This type of treatment is indicated in the following cases:

deformity of dentitions caused by disorders in formation, growth and development of facial bones;
facial asymmetry caused by disproportions in dimensions and shape of the jaws;
overgrowth of the lower jaw that disturbs the harmonious appearance of the face;

micrognathia, including the cases caused by congenital anomalies and malformations (in case of nonclosure of upper lip, palate, etc.);
as a stage of preparation or facilitation of an orthodontic treatment.

Specialists of Dobrobut clinic chain perform surgical interventions both on one and on two jaws, chin correction, surgical distention of the upper jaw, and all the main orthognathic surgeries, such as Le Fort osteotomy, Obwegeser/Dal Pont osteotomy (bilateral sagital split osteotomy), distraction of upper and lower jaws, compact osteotomy, rapid maxillary expansion, etc.
