Maxillofacial Surgeries
Maxillofacial surgery is a specialized branch of surgery that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the facial region, mouth, jaws, and neck. It encompasses a wide range of procedures, including corrective jaw surgery to address misalignments, dental implant placement, and the treatment of facial trauma such as fractures. This field also handles congenital abnormalities like cleft lip and palate, as well as conditions such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and oral cancers. Maxillofacial surgeons often collaborate with dentists, orthodontists, and other medical professionals to restore function, aesthetics, and quality of life for patients. With advancements in techniques and technology, maxillofacial surgery has become increasingly precise and minimally invasive, offering faster recovery and improved outcomes.
Collaboration is a cornerstone of maxillofacial surgery, as surgeons often work alongside dentists, orthodontists, oncologists, and other healthcare professionals to deliver comprehensive and holistic care.
