Lower segment osteotomy involves surgical repositioning of the lower jaw (mandible) to address conditions such as mandibular prognathism (underbite), retrognathism (overbite), asymmetry, or malocclusion that cannot be adequately corrected with orthodontic treatment alone. The procedure is meticulously planned and executed by our team of skilled oral and maxillofacial surgeons in collaboration with orthodontists, ensuring comprehensive care and optimal outcomes.
At Abhirachna Dental Clinic, we prioritize patient comfort and safety throughout the lower segment osteotomy process. Before proceeding with surgery, comprehensive diagnostic evaluations are conducted using advanced imaging technologies to assess the jaw structure and plan the surgical approach. This personalized approach allows us to tailor treatment plans to meet the specific needs and goals of each patient.
