Orthognathic (Telegnathic) Surgery


 

Traditionally, combining orthognathic surgery and orthodontic therapy has been used to correct moderate to severe dentoskeletal deformity, which is difficult to accomplish with an orthodontic treatment alone.

Orthognathic surgery is used for the following reasons:

  • Correcting esthetic flaws caused by dentoskeletal discrepancies which is beyond the means of orthodontic correction. 
  • Correction of TMJ related issues caused by dentoskeletal discrepancies. 
  • Cure of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in severe patient cases caused by upper airway obstruction.

In our practice, Dr. Yousefian incorporates Telegtnathic surgery with Teledontics as the protocol of maximizing the expansion and forward movement of the jaws for the proper correction of TMJ and Obstructive Airway issues. This allows us to achieve results that are not only esthetically perfect, but also functionally precise that last a lifetime! In the most severe cases, an advancement of 10-20mm is usually enough to correct esthetic, TMJ and Obstructive Airway disorders.
