Upper Jaw Correction with Le Fort I Osteotomy

Upper Jaw Correction with Le Fort I Osteotomy: Transforming Smiles and Enhancing Breathing

For this young woman, protruding upper anterior teeth had been a lifelong source of concern. The misalignment not only affected her smile but also caused entrapment of her lower lip behind her upper teeth, leading to chronic mouth breathing. Seeking a solution, she sought treatment at our hospital.

Our team carefully evaluated her condition and explained the treatment plan in detail, addressing all her questions and concerns. She ultimately agreed to undergo surgical correction of her upper jaw deformity.

The procedure involved a Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy with superior positioning, effectively repositioning her upper jaw and correcting the deformity. The outcome was remarkable, achieving both optimal aesthetics and improved breathing function.

Transforming Lives Through Maxillofacial Surgery

Upper jaw deformities can significantly impact a person’s self-esteem and quality of life. At our hospital, we specialize in advanced maxillofacial surgery techniques, including Le Fort I osteotomy, to address these concerns and restore facial balance and function.

Le Fort I Osteotomy: A Precise Solution for Upper Jaw Deformities

Le Fort I osteotomy is a surgical procedure that involves cutting the upper jawbone (maxilla) just above the level of the upper teeth. This allows the surgeon to reposition the maxilla forward or backward to correct various jaw deformities.

Benefits of Le Fort I Osteotomy

Le Fort I osteotomy offers several benefits, including:

• Improved facial aesthetics: Correcting upper jaw deformities can significantly enhance facial balance and profile.
• Enhanced breathing function: Addressing malocclusions and improving jaw alignment can alleviate chronic mouth breathing and other respiratory issues.
• Improved self-esteem and confidence: Positive changes in facial appearance and function can significantly boost self-esteem and confidence.
