What is Orthognathic Surgery?

Orthognathic surgery aims to place the jaws and attached teeth in as near to a normal position as possible. Successful surgery relies on the close cooperation of your orthodontist and Professor Mitchell with treatment often lasting many months. The outcomes of the surgery are both functional - correcting poor bites - and aesthetic - correcting visible jaw disharmonies. Professor Mitchell will give you a Patient Information Brochure which summarises in easy to understand terms, the exact nature of this highly specialised field of surgery, but is is impotant to understand that Professor Mitchell has performed many such operations with very successful results.
