WHAT IS BITING DISORDER AND THE TREATMENT IN TURKEY?
Dental health in Turkey is one of the most important issues affecting our quality of life. We take various measures to protect our oral and dental health and resort to treatments to address the problems that occur. Biting decadence is also among them. A specialist in oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery professor about orthognathic treatment referred to in eliminating this problem, we gave information.
Oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery specialist Prof.Dr, “orthognathic surgery (jaw surgery) is a combination of Orthodontics and jaw surgery techniques aimed at eliminating the deconstruction of the shape and shape of the lower and upper jaw.
Orthognathic surgery (jaw surgery) is an intervention for the placement of jaw bones, teeth and tissues in an anatomical location.
In cases where orthodontic treatment cannot correct jaw and biting problems alone, the lower jaw, upper jaw, or teeth are incompatible with the jaw, orthognathic surgery comes into play. In cases where there is an abnormality in the relationship between the lower and upper jaw, a biting disorder occurs, which negatively affects the appearance, disrupting the aesthetics of the face,” he commented.

ORTHODONTIST AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEON WORK TOGETHER
Oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery specialist Prof.Dr. said, “in this type of problem, orthodontist and maxillofacial surgeon work together to eliminate functional and appearance problems. The orthodontist arranges the teeth, and the maxillofacial surgeon places the jaws in the appropriate position.
Proper planning, correct technique and good care after the surgical procedure is achieved with the desired result,” he said.
It can be applied in these cases
Prof.Dr. “patients wonder in what cases orthognathic surgery is performed. This treatment;
– Lower jaw retardation; lower jaw front, back, right or left side,
– Underdevelopment of one side or all of the lower jaw,
– Upper jaw retardation; upper jaw front, back, right or left side,
– Lack of development in the upper jaw,
– Lower and upper jaw teeth do not touch each other,
– Chin tip ahead, Back, Small or large,
– Deterioration of the shape and structure of the jaws due to an accident or tumor,
“We can say that it is applied in cases where there is a percentage asymmetry,” he said.
Suitable for whom?
“We recommend this surgical method to people who have insufficient chewing and speech functions, have breathing problems, have impaired jaw position with each other, have impaired facial aesthetics, because their teeth and jaws do not close properly,” Yalcin commented.
Lasts 2-4 hours under general anesthesia
Prof.Dr. said, ” Patients should be careful when choosing the surgeon who will perform the procedure and conduct deep research. The fact that the surgeon who will perform this procedure is experienced in this regard will give the patient an advantage during the operation and during the subsequent recovery period.
In this method, surgery can only be performed on the lower or upper jaw or on both jaws.
General anesthesia is applied to the patient in orthognathic operations where orthodontic specialist and maxillofacial surgeon work together. The surgical procedure takes between 2-4 hours according to the disorder,” he said.
