Dentofacial deformities are very common, between 8 and 12 percent of the world’s population has some kind of imbalance related to the teeth and face, that is, they suffer from Dentofacial Dysharmonia (D.F.D.), these can be defined as alterations that affect both the teeth (dento) and the face (facial).

Who needs jaw surgery in Turkey?

Jaw surgery in Turkey is recommended to patients who have an inadequate bite (MALOCLUSION) of skeletal (bone) origin and therefore the jaws are in an incorrect position, generating a DENTO-FACIAL DISARMONY. Its primary objective is to achieve a proper bite, restore masticatory function and improve facial aesthetics.

This requires a good diagnosis and precise planning by the orthodontist specialising in these treatments together with the maxillofacial surgeon, who must also specialise in orthognathics, which ensures both a functional and aesthetic result.

Sometimes dentofacial deformities are accompanied by other disharmonies (nose, chin, cheeks, lips) so that improvements in facial aesthetics can also be made, either in the same intervention or at different times, substantially improving the final results.
