FAQs on two jaw surgery
Yesterday, we had a look at some brief
information on two jaw surgery.
So today, I will go through frequently
asked questions on two jaw surgery.
FAQs on two jaw surgery-
“Pre-operative orthodontics? Post-operative
orthodontics? Which one is better?”
At WONJIN, it is possible to have two jaw
surgery without pre-operative orthodontics as our surgeon is very experienced
and skilled enough to correct on the location of jaw, which can be followed by
post-operative orthodontics to improve on teeth alignment.
In this case, it is possible to reduce on
the length of treatment period compare to two jaw surgery with pre-operative
orthodontics that requires steps of pre-operative orthodontics ▶ surgery ▶
post-operative orthodontics.
Often some patients cannot receive surgery
before orthodontics depending on their occlusion status.
Thus it is important to confirm if it is
possible to have surgery without pre-operative orthodontics, and if this isn’t
possible, it is also important to check on the method of orthodontics and the
duration as well, before getting the surgery.
For patients who require pre-operative
orthodontics, it is really important for them to check if the dental clinic
that they will be visiting, is experienced and skilled in pre-operative
orthodontics for two jaw surgery patient or not.
To patients who live in Korea or staying
long period of time in Korea, we recommend them to have their pre and post-operative
orthodontics at WONJIN dental clinic as our dental clinic is very experienced
in specialized orthodontics for two jaw surgery patients.
For international patients who are coming
to Korea for surgery first approach method, we recommend them to make sure to
have dental clinic where they can have their post-operative orthodontics done
around their local area.
You can have dissatisfying result if
post-operative orthodontics isn’t done properly even when the result of two jaw
surgery was great.
Thus, please make sure to find out about
orthodontic treatments!
FAQs on two jaw surgery-
“Can I change my face contour with two jaw
surgery?”
Often there are people who expect their ‘U-lined’
face to become ‘V-lined’ with two jaw surgery by itself.
However, since two jaw surgery is basically
a surgery that corrects on the upper jaw and lower jaw, it is hard to expect on
the significant reduction of square jaw and cheek bone.
Thus if you would like to improve on your
jaw function with two jaw surgery and have small face with beautiful face
contour aesthetically at the same time, we recommend to have two jaw surgery
with facial contouring surgeries such as cheekbone reduction and square jaw reduction.
It is ideal for you to decide on this after
having through consultation with your surgeon, as facial contouring surgeries
also have incision inside the mouth like two jaw surgery.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could have two
effects of two jaw surgery and facial contouring surgery with one time
incision?
FAQs on two jaw surgery-
“What’s the post treatment schedule after
two jaw surgery?”
It usually takes about 7 weeks after surgery
for two jaw surgery patient to get their wafer removed.
Stitches on the facial area are usually
removed after 1 week and stitches inside the mouth are usually removed after 2
weeks.
Since two jaw surgery requires longer
preparation and treatment period compare to other simple surgeries, we usually
recommend our international patients to stay in Korea for at least 3 days to 3
months.
If you cannot stay in Korea for that long,
please discuss this with your surgeon first, after checking treatment schedule
and having through consultation.
Consult WONJIN about two jaw or facial
contouring surgeries, where 7 anesthesiologists are on stand-by and equipped with
all sorts of pre-operative medical examination facilities including CT, X-ray,
EKG and so on, where specialized orthodontic specialists who are experienced in
