Abstract

Dentofacial deformities are a debilitating condition both functionally as well as aesthetically. Unfortunate victims of these deformities suffer from inability to close their mouths, severe gummy smile and long lower jaw, asymmetry of face, etc. They have functional deformities such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), snoring, inability to masticate properly and above all inferiority complex and often become a social recluse. Though effective treatment is available, many patients are unable to access surgical care due to lack of awareness, financial issues and a strange thinking that they are going against God who created them that way. Awareness is increasing now and also predictability of surgery and surgical options. Dentofacial deformities are corrected with multiple surgical techniques. Detailed evaluations of these patients are done and multiple surgical options are considered to arrive at the correct procedure for the patient. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of Dentofacial deformities and their surgical correction with pictures of patients before and after surgery.
