Orthognathic Surgery

Jaw discrepancies affecting chewing, speech and breathing can also alter facial balance. Prof. Dr. Altan VAROL plans orthognathic surgery in conjunction with orthodontics to restore both function and facial harmony. Using 3D imaging, digital planning and guided surgery, a personalized and predictable roadmap is created for every patient.

Orthognathic surgery can correct mandibular prognathism/retrognathism, maxillary constriction, open/deep bite and midline deviations. Before surgery, a thorough assessment is performed and the perioperative course is explained in detail. Swelling and tenderness during the first week are normal; soft diet, medication and hygiene protocols improve comfort. The achieved skeletal balance supports better mastication and speech and a natural facial profile.

Clear expectations and a multidisciplinary approach are key to long‑term stability. We transparently discuss risks and alternatives and reinforce outcomes with regular follow‑ups.
