Jaw Surgery in Turkey
Orthognathic surgery corrects jaw alignment issues that affect chewing, breathing, speaking, and facial aesthetics. Turkey's maxillofacial surgeons perform complex jaw surgeries with advanced 3D planning technology.
Conditions Treated
- Protruding or receding lower jaw
- Open bite or crossbite
- Facial asymmetry
- Sleep apnoea caused by jaw positioning
- TMJ disorders
Types of Jaw Surgery
Le Fort I osteotomy repositions the upper jaw. Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) corrects the lower jaw. Genioplasty reshapes the chin. Many patients require combinations of these procedures, often performed simultaneously.
Planning and Technology
Turkish surgeons use 3D CT scanning, virtual surgical planning, and custom-printed surgical guides for precise results. The procedure takes 2-4 hours under general anaesthesia. Cost: £4,000-£8,000 in Turkey vs £8,000-£20,000 in the UK.
