Through personalized treatment plans, we aim to improve not only the health but also the quality of life of our patients.

About Dysgnathia

Dysgnathia refers to any form of abnormality or deformity in the jaw structure. It can involve misalignment of the upper jaw (maxilla), lower jaw (mandible), or both, causing issues with bite alignment, facial symmetry, and overall oral function. This condition can range from mild to severe, affecting basic functions such as chewing and speaking, and may also contribute to aesthetic concerns.

Common symptoms of dysgnathia include difficulty closing the mouth properly, discomfort while chewing, and an irregular bite, where the upper and lower teeth do not meet correctly. Some individuals may experience facial asymmetry, while others might suffer from breathing difficulties, particularly during sleep. With the best oral and maxillofacial surgeons in Dubai, our specialized team offers advanced surgical treatments for patients suffering from jaw deformities, ensuring both functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Dysgnathia can be classified into several types based on the affected area:

• Mandibular Dysgnathia: Refers to deformities in the lower jaw.
• Maxillary Dysgnathia: Involves abnormalities in the upper jaw.
• Bimaxillary Dysgnathia: When both the upper and lower jaws are misaligned.

At Emirates Hospitals Group, we understand the complexity of this condition and offer tailored treatment plans designed to address both functional impairments and cosmetic concerns.

Causes of Dysgnathia
Dysgnathia can result from various factors, including genetic, developmental, and environmental causes. The following are the most common causes of this condition:

1. Genetics: In many cases, dysgnathia is hereditary, passed down from one generation to the next. Individuals with a family history of jaw deformities are at higher risk of developing the condition.
2. Congenital Conditions: Some patients may be born with congenital conditions such as cleft lip or palate, which contribute to jaw abnormalities. These conditions often require surgical correction to restore both function and appearance.
3. Developmental Issues: Abnormal growth patterns during childhood and adolescence can lead to jaw misalignment. In some cases, the jaws may grow disproportionately, resulting in an overbite, underbite, or crossbite.
4. Trauma or Injury: Physical trauma to the face or jaw during childhood or adulthood can disrupt normal jaw development, leading to deformities over time.
5. Habits During Childhood: Extended thumb sucking, improper use of pacifiers, or bottle feeding beyond the normal developmental stages can alter jaw growth, resulting in misalignment.

Treatment of Dysgnathia

Treating dysgnathia requires a multidisciplinary approach, often involving orthodontics and oral and maxillofacial surgery. The treatment process is tailored to the patient’s specific condition, aiming to improve functionality, aesthetics, and quality of life. At Emirates Hospitals Group, we offer a range of cutting-edge treatments to correct dysgnathia:

1. Orthodontic Treatment
   In cases where dysgnathia is mild, orthodontic treatment such as braces or clear aligners may be sufficient to realign the teeth and jaws. This non-invasive method helps improve bite function and facial aesthetics over time.
2. Orthognathic Surgery
   For more severe cases of jaw misalignment, orthognathic surgery is often recommended. This surgical procedure involves repositioning the upper and/or lower jaws to correct alignment issues. Performed by our expert oral and maxillofacial surgeons, orthognathic surgery offers long-lasting results, restoring both function and balance to the patient’s facial structure. The procedure is commonly done in collaboration with orthodontic treatment to ensure optimal results.
3. Jaw Rehabilitation
   Post-surgery, patients often require rehabilitation, which may include physical therapy to restore muscle function and improve mobility in the jaw.
4. Sleep Apnea Treatment
   For patients whose dysgnathia affects their breathing, particularly during sleep, corrective surgery can alleviate symptoms of sleep apnea by opening up the airway.

Benefits of Treatment

• Improved Functionality: Correcting jaw misalignment significantly enhances chewing, speaking, and breathing capabilities.
• Enhanced Aesthetics: Orthognathic surgery helps balance facial proportions, improving both jaw alignment and overall facial appearance.
• Long-Term Results: Orthognathic surgery provides a permanent solution to dysgnathia, offering stability and lasting improvements.
• Improved Quality of Life: Proper jaw alignment reduces discomfort and enhances confidence, allowing patients to live more comfortably.
• Health Benefits: Correcting misalignment issues can prevent long-term dental problems such as excessive wear on teeth and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
