Jaw Surgery

Chin correction surgery is a procedure that corrects jaw disorders. The procedures physically move the jawbone. And in some cases it involves the addition or removal of bone tissue to achieve balanced proportions.
The procedure is quite complex and involves a team of professional dentists to plan the repositioning of your jaw. At Kılınç Dental Clinic, our team of various specialists plan the procedure for the best result.

Jaw Surgery Procedure
Jaw surgery requires careful and detailed preparation. For this reason, your dentist must first perform an examination session. During this time, your dentist will take x-rays to fully assess the structure of your jaw.
At Kılınç Dental Clinic, our dentists apply the latest digital technologies to create realistic 3D models for you. These models show how your surgery will take place. Other digital programmes will help you think about how the jaw surgery will affect your face.
This step is very important for us and as Kılınç Dental Clinic, we like to involve you in every step of the process.
During the surgery, scars will not be a problem for you as your doctor will operate through the mouth. After creating the correct movements in the jawbone, your doctor fixes the jaw with screws. The procedure for the upper and lower jaw takes place separately during surgery.
Who Is Chin Surgery Suitable For?
Anyone with jaw irregularities is suitable for chin surgery. One jaw protruding over the other, overclosing or underclosing. Whether it is genetic or caused by an accident, it is applicable for the procedure.
However, it is very important that you have tried orthodontics before. Most cases of jaw misalignment can be corrected with conventional braces.
Corrective jaw surgery is only an option if you have tried orthodontics and your problem persists.
Jaw Surgery Results
