Lefort 1 osteotomy involves carefully planned cuts (osteotomies) in the upper jawbone to reposition it relative to the skull and lower jaw. It is typically recommended for patients with conditions such as severe overbite (maxillary prognathism), underbite (maxillary retrognathism), facial asymmetry, or issues related to the position of the upper jaw relative to the lower jaw.
At Abhirachna Dental Clinic, our experienced team of oral and maxillofacial surgeons collaborates closely with orthodontists and other specialists to assess each patient’s unique condition and develop a personalized treatment plan. Before proceeding with Lefort 1 osteotomy, comprehensive diagnostic evaluations are conducted using advanced imaging techniques to precisely analyze the facial skeletal structure and plan the surgical approach.
During the procedure, our skilled surgeons make precise cuts in the upper jawbone to reposition it in alignment with the rest of the facial skeleton. Depending on the patient’s needs, bone grafts may be used to support and stabilize the repositioned segment. Our clinic utilizes state-of-the-art surgical techniques and technology to ensure precise surgical outcomes and minimize recovery time for our patients.
Patient safety and comfort are our top priorities at Abhirachna Dental Clinic. We provide thorough pre-operative preparation and post-operative care to support healing and recovery.
