Orthognathic surgery consists of the bone movement of the maxillary and mandibular areas, through this surgical procedure we can correct cranio-maxillofacial and dental defects. In this way, we achieve harmony between the patient's facial features. Because these problems appear during the growth phase of each individual, eventually they settle when it ends and may cause various problems such as apnea sleep, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ), lack of facial aesthetic or malocclusion balance, among some.
Osteophoenix manufactures custom orthognathic plates in titanium, as well as the surgical guides necessary to perform these treatments. Our design team works together with the maxillofacial specialist to ensure that the device meets the needs of the patient accurately and efficiently.
The most common treatment is mandibular advancement. This is carried out when the patient is class II, that is, they have a small and retracted jaw with respect to the maxilla. In these cases, we must restore lower facial harmony. In some cases, it is even necessary, as this defect can cause sleep apnea.
