What is Orthognathic Surgery?
Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, is all about correcting the position of the jaws and misaligned jaw bones. Through orthognathic surgery, there will be improvement in the functioning of the jaws and teeth because the upper jaw, lower jaw or both will be brought into correct positions. Orthognathic surgery may move the jaws forward, backward, upward, or downward to ensure that patients have a perfect bite.
Dr. Mukul N. Padhye offers advanced jaw correction surgery in Mumbai with proper planning and empathy. Patients can benefit from the improved functionality of their jaws and face and general comfort level. Contact us now to learn about the best treatment solution for you.
Common Reasons for Orthognathic Surgery
Dr. Mukul N. Padhye assesses each individual patient carefully to determine the patient’s jaw condition, symptoms, and objectives of treatment before advising orthognathic surgery. Jaw misalignment can occur because of genetic reasons, problems with the growth of the face, thumb-sucking in children, or mouth breathing for a prolonged period of time.
Some common reasons that necessitate corrective jaw surgery in Mumbai are listed below:
- Overbite – The upper jaw protrudes beyond the lower jaw.
- Underbite – The lower jaw protrudes beyond the upper jaw.
- Open Bite – Inability of the upper and lower jaws to make contact while closing the mouth.
- Functional Disorders of the Jaw – Trouble with eating, biting, swallowing, or talking.
- Pain & Breathing Problems – TMJ Pain, Headaches, Sleep Apnea, Chronic Mouth Breathing, or Lip Closure Problems
Consult Dr. Mukul N. Padhye today regarding your treatment options.

- Maxillary Osteotomy – It is done when there is a problem with the upper jaw like an open bite, crossbite or an upper jaw that is positioned either too forward or too backward.
- Mandibular Osteotomy – The lower jaw is moved into place to address problems with a lower jaw that is too small or too large.
- Bimaxillary Osteotomy – This double jaw surgery is done for cases where there are issues with both the upper and lower jaws.
