Correction of these can be achieved by upper jaw surgery, that is, by performing orthognathic surgery. Treatment begins with orthodontists inserting wires in order to correct the tooth alignment. Surgery planning is made by evaluating the radiographs and model patterns taken to the patient. Biting plaques are prepared and directed to the surgeon who will perform the operation.
Upper Jaw Surgery Technique

In upper jaw disorders (deformities), the upper jaw bone is cut from the base of the nose, above the tooth roots (osteotomized ) and the toothed bone section of the upper jaw is freed. At this time, the upper jaw bone is held only by the soft palate and is fed by the veins coming from it.
The upper jaw bone segment, which becomes mobile in three dimensions; the planned ideal is fulfilled by placing a previously prepared suitable biting plate and it is determined by means of mini plates (small, stainless alloy perforated metal) and screws in the upper part of the upper jaw in the new position.
The upper jaw bone can be moved forward or backward according to the requirement, as well as operations such as burial, sagging, rotation can be performed. The incision inside the mouth is closed by sewing with melted thread. If there is a significant deviation of the septum (nose) during this operation, it can be corrected, the low tip of the nose can be slightly relieved. In the same way, it can be suspended in soft tissues.
The Healing Process After Upper Jaw Surgery

A condition that requires the patient to stay in intensive care is very rare. Nutrition begins with juicy foods on the same day. After the patient’s general condition improves, usually 2-4 days after the operation, the lower and upper jaw teeth are fixed to each other with tires and the mouth is closed for 1-3 weeks. This makes bone healing safer.
