Introduction

Orthognathic Surgery: Second Edition" offers a comprehensive guide into the specialized field of jaw and facial surgery. This edition delves into the intricate procedures that reshape the structure of the jaw and face to correct functional issues and enhance aesthetic appeal. Orthognathic surgery, stemming from the Latin words 'Ortho' meaning 'straighten', and 'gnathia' meaning 'jaw', is more than just a surgical procedure; it's a transformative journey that addresses severe jaw misalignments not amendable by orthodontics alone. This book is divided into two main parts: the first part outlines various case studies, showcasing the diverse applications of orthognathic surgery—from bite and airway corrections to comprehensive facial reconstructions. The second part serves as a step-by-step manual for those undergoing or considering the surgery, providing valuable insights into the entire process from finding a surgeon to post-operative care. By blending surgical, dental, and cosmetic perspectives, this edition not only highlights the functional benefits such as improved bite and airway but also the profound impact on facial aesthetics, ultimately enhancing the patient's quality of life.
