Now more and more people are consulting about maxillofacial surgery. Some people want to know whether to do orthodontics first or not? For this problem, let's take a look at the introduction of Zhu Shijiang, president of Shenyang Xinglin Plastic Surgery Hospital!

According to President Zhu, this question is often asked in clinical practice. Some people suffer from severe dislocation of the upper and lower jaw, such as mandibular protrusion (Earth Baotian), mandibular retrusion (small jaw), maxillary protrusion (buckteeth), facial asymmetry, etc., As a result, the occlusal relationship is poor, so simple orthodontic treatment is difficult to achieve a satisfactory aesthetic effect. At this time, combined orthognathic surgery is required. Is it better to have orthodontics or orthognathic first?

President Zhu Shijiang: The priority of orthodontics or orthognathic surgery has always been a controversy in the industry. In fact, with the progress of orthodontics and surgical technology, the old treatment concept is gradually changing. With the close cooperation of orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons, some patients can undergo surgery before completing the correction without going through a long preoperative orthodontic process. This can quickly meet the requirements of patients to change the face shape, speed up the tooth movement after surgery, and significantly shorten the overall treatment time.

However, the priority of orthognathic surgery is not suitable for everyone. You need to take photos first, and then the orthodontist will measure and evaluate with the maxillofacial surgeon. On the premise of ensuring long-term stability, design more appropriate programs according to each person's specific situation.

Remind everyone: attention must be paid to maxillofacial surgery, orthognathic surgery treatment plan is strict, and craniomaxillofacial surgeons must be good at surgery to achieve ideal improvement effect!
