kieferorthopädischchirurgische

kieferorthopädischchirurgische refers to a specialized field that combines the principles and practices of orthodontics and oral and maxillofacial surgery. This interdisciplinary approach is primarily concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and management of complex dentofacial deformities and skeletal discrepancies. These conditions often involve malocclusions, where the teeth do not align properly, and significant skeletal imbalances between the upper and lower jaws.

The treatment provided in kieferorthopädischchirurgische often involves a coordinated effort between an orthodontist and an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Orthodontists typically manage the alignment of the teeth using braces or aligners, while oral and maxillofacial surgeons perform surgical procedures to reposition the jaws. This surgical intervention, often referred to as orthognathic surgery, aims to correct underlying skeletal issues that cannot be fully addressed by orthodontic treatment alone.

The goals of kieferorthopädischchirurgische treatment are multifaceted. Beyond improving the aesthetics of the face and smile, it seeks to enhance the function of the bite, facilitate proper chewing and speaking, and alleviate pain or discomfort associated with jaw misalignment. Conditions commonly treated include underbites, overbites, crossbites, and significant asymmetry of the jaws. The treatment process is typically lengthy and requires meticulous planning, precise execution, and long-term follow-up to ensure stable and functional results.
