Jaw and facial surgery is a highly specialized field that combines both functional treatment and aesthetic correction. It aims to address deformities or imbalances in the facial and jaw bones that may affect breathing, chewing, speech, or appearance. These surgeries are not limited to medical cases but are also performed to enhance facial harmony and restore natural balance between the jaws.
At Dr. Ashraf Lotfy El-Gammal’s Center, Consultant in Cosmetic Dentistry, Implants, and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we offer integrated care using the latest equipment and digital technologies. Each treatment plan is customized for the individual case, with the goal of achieving optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes in a modern, safe, and comfortable environment.
What is Jaw and Facial Surgery, and Why is it Performed?
Jaw and facial surgery is a precise branch of dentistry focused on treating a wide range of conditions affecting the bones and soft tissues of the face and jaws. It is performed either for medical purposes—such as correcting jaw disorders or congenital deformities—or for functional and aesthetic reasons to enhance facial harmony and restore jaw balance.
Common indications for this type of surgery include jaw protrusion or retrusion, difficulty in chewing or speaking, temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), trauma-related injuries, or growth imbalances. Surgery improves key functions such as eating, speaking, and breathing, in addition to enhancing facial aesthetics.
At Dr. Ashraf Lotfy El-Gammal’s Center, we provide advanced solutions for jaw and facial surgery using cutting-edge techniques and customized treatment plans to deliver the best medical and cosmetic results in a safe and modern setting.
Conditions That May Require Jaw and Facial Surgery
Your doctor may recommend jaw and facial surgery when jaw-related issues significantly impact function or appearance and cannot be corrected through non-surgical methods. These include:
- Jaw misalignment (protrusion or retrusion)
- TMJ disorders and chronic jaw pain
- Fractures from trauma or accidents
- Congenital facial or jaw deformities
- Tumors or cysts in the jawbones
- Breathing or speech problems due to jaw structure
- Difficulty in chewing or swallowing
- Desire for cosmetic enhancement of the chin or jawline
- Obstructive sleep apnea linked to jaw positioning
Every case at our center is thoroughly evaluated to develop a precise treatment plan that enhances both facial aesthetics and vital functions.
