Do I need an orthognathic operation: diagnostics in Israel
One of the significant advantages of treatment in Israel is accurate operational diagnostics in local clinics. On the first day, the patient is examined by a maxillofacial surgeon, who takes the necessary measurements. Further, additional diagnostic procedures can be prescribed, such as:
- CT scan;
- MRI;
- X-ray, etc.
If all the diagnostic data are available, a consultation of doctors, which, in addition to the maxillofacial surgeon, includes an odontologist, an orthodontist, doctors of other related specialties, develops a treatment plan, decides whether orthognathic surgery is necessary or other methods of therapy are possible. The patient is informed about all upcoming stages. Also at this stage, the total cost of the procedures is formed. Prices may vary depending on the complexity of the upcoming surgical operation and other nuances. In many Israeli clinics, the cost of services can be paid in stages.
How is orthognathic surgery performed in Israeli clinics?
Orthognathic surgery is performed after computer modeling of the optimal face shape, which allows making models of the jaws.
Orthognathic surgery in Israeli clinics is performed in the oral cavity, so there are no scars on the patient's face. The jaw surgeon makes incisions on the jaw bones and sets them in the correct position (forward, backward, up, down). To ensure the correct position, special microplates are used, which eventually take root in the structure of bone tissues. In some situations, bone tissue can be added to the jaw, which is taken from the patient's rib or thigh.Orthognathic surgery in Israel is the best way to correct the abnormal structure of the jaw bones and improve their function.
