Upper segment osteotomy is a surgical technique used to reposition the upper jaw (maxilla) to achieve better alignment with the lower jaw and facial structures. It is often recommended for patients with conditions such as skeletal open bite, excessive overbite (deep bite), or asymmetry of the jaws. The procedure aims to improve bite alignment, facial harmony, and overall oral function.
At Abhirachna Dental Clinic, our experienced team of oral and maxillofacial surgeons, along with orthodontists, collaborate to assess each patient’s specific needs and create a personalized treatment plan.
