Orthognathia

Orthognathy is one of the types of surgical treatment of orthodontic diseases aimed at correcting the incorrect position of teeth and their shape. This is a method of correcting temporomandibular disorders, requiring a change in the mesial-distal direction of both branches of the lower jaw.

Orthognathism, also called mesial correction and open mandibular correction, is considered the preferred treatment for Brooklyn prognathism. This type of surgical intervention is performed in cases where correction of an anomaly is required without a lower “jaw bench”.
