Double Jaw Surgery and Related Surgical Techniques: What is Required for a Healthy Smile?

There are many surgical procedures performed on the jaw and facial area. Problems in this area can have a serious negative impact on life. Comprehensive surgical procedures such as double jaw surgery provide a permanent solution to these problems while contributing to both the health and self-confidence of patients. The treatment process carried out by Dr. Dt. Tansu Uzel is tailored to the expectations of patients and offers personalised solutions.

A detailed orthodontic preparation process is required before double jaw surgery. During this process, the patient’s jaw structure, tooth alignment, and facial aesthetics are analysed in detail. Once the necessary preparations are complete, the surgical process begins. These procedures are covered by insurance at our clinic. In this context, we offer a safe and comfortable treatment experience to both local and foreign patients.

What is Lefort I Osteotomy?

Lefort I osteotomy is a surgical procedure performed on the upper jaw (maxilla). This technique allows the jaw to be moved forward or backward, or up or down. This method is particularly preferred in cases of upper jaw retrusion or excess, improving both aesthetic appearance and functions such as chewing and speaking.

• It positions the upper jaw,
• Corrects malocclusion,
• Improves aesthetic appearance.

Thanks to Dr. Dt. Tansu Uzel’s experience in this field, the most ideal results are targeted through digital planning before the operation.

Sagittal Split Osteotomy: A Surgical Solution for Lower Jaw Problems

Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy is an effective surgical method used when the lower jaw (mandible) needs to be moved forward or backward. Lower jaw retrusion or excess can negatively affect both facial symmetry and the jaw joint. This technique allows the jaw to be positioned correctly, resulting in both aesthetic and functional improvements.

Advantages of the surgical process:

• The position of the lower jaw is corrected,
• Chewing functions are improved,
• Facial symmetry is restored.

Genioplasty and Application Techniques

Genioplasty is a procedure that reshapes the chin. This operation, which is usually performed for aesthetic purposes, can be applied in cases of chin recession or excess. Genioplasty plays an important role in improving the facial profile.

Genioplasty techniques:

• Sliding Genioplasty: The bone is cut and moved forward or backward
• Genioplasty with Implants: Volume is added using synthetic materials

The appropriate technique for each patient is determined by Dr. Dt. Tansu Uzel after a detailed examination and analysis.

Vertical Ramus Osteotomy: An Alternative Surgical Approach

Vertical Ramus Osteotomy is another technique used as an alternative to the sagittal split method in the treatment of lower jaw problems. This method is preferred in cases where the jaw tip needs to be moved further or in patients with specific anatomical structures.

This method is particularly effective in:

• Asymmetrical lower jaw structures
• Cases where traditional techniques are insufficient
  providing effective results.

Double Jaw Surgery Orthodontic Preparation: Mandatory Steps Before Surgery

The orthodontic preparation process is of great importance before undergoing double jaw surgery. During this process, the teeth are brought into their ideal position, increasing the success rate of the surgery. This preparation, which lasts an average of 12-18 months, also has a positive effect on the post-surgery recovery process.

During the preparation process:

• Braces are applied
• The jaw alignment is adjusted
• Surgical planning is conducted using digital modelling
