Let's have a look at the side profile of a patient who came for correction of both functional & aesthetic aspect. She underwent jaw surgery or Orthognathic surgery and here you can clearly see change in the facial profile.

Here, the position of lower jaw which was forwardly placed in relation to upper jaw was corrected & the results were wonderfull for this young patient, both aesthetically & functionally.

Cleft lip & palate patient needs the highest standard of expertise and precision. Several phases of surgical intervention are required according to the dental and facial development of the patient.
Lip is ideally closed within 3 months since birth, followed by palate closure between 12 - 18 months.

It feels great relief to see a child growing up confidently!

Let's have a look at the side face of the same patient who underwent jaw surgery. Here you can clearly see the change in the jawline.

Here, the position of the lower which was forwardly placed in relation to the upper jaw was corrected & the lip seal was also achieved. The results were wonderful for this young patient, both aesthetically & functionally

Let's have a look at the before & after pics of this patient, where you can appreciate a remarkable change in the jaw line after the orthognathic surgery was performed.
Such cases of elongated lower jaw can be corrected & along with aesthetic appearance, the functional aspect can also be corrected, where the bite relations between the upper & lower jaw are restored to normal.

Have a look at the post-surgical results of a patient who underwent Orthognathic surgery by Dr. Nehal Patel, an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, TMJ Arthroscopist.
A marked difference in the facial profile of the patient thus improving the jaw relations, is visible after the surgical procedure

As you can see here, this is a young patient suffering from Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis, which is one of the most challenging TMJ disorders that can negatively affect oral-related daily functions like mastication, speech and hygiene.

Trauma to the TMJ has been cited as the most common underlying reason responsible for ankylosis; however, local infections and systemic disorders (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis) also can also cause TMJ Ankylosis.

Have a look at before & after TMJ surgery results performed by Dr. Nehal Patel, an Oral & Maxillofacial surgeon, TMJ Arthroscopist.

An open bite is a type of malocclusion, where the teeth aren’t aligned properly when the jaws are closed with spacing between upper & lower teeth.
•
An open bite can interfere with speech, prevent proper biting & chewing as well as is of aesthetics concern.
•
If you experience any of these side effects from an open bite, make an appointment with a dentist & talk about the treatment options because it can be corrected
