Minimally Invasive Aesthetic and Functional Jaw Surgery — State of the Art

Traditionally patients with an imbalanced facial appearance, dental and orthodontic problems, and sleep and breathing disturbances, need to undergo orthognathic “jaw” surgery. It has recently been shown that facial growth can be stimulated and orthodontic treatment be accelerated by minimally invasive procedures possibly avoiding the need for jaw surgery. In this talk Dr. Girod reviews the current state of the art of jaw surgery and minimally invasive procedures.

Speaker: Sabine Girod, MD, DDS, PhD

The second patient looked worse, why did you shorten his face? That was a mistake.

If bone can grow, then I don't see why adults can't try the minimal invasive method for children.

Could you use distraction osteogenesis to broaden the maxilla in an adult? I am in Australia and am waiting for orthodontists here to be trained in inserting a MISME due to the loss of upper jaw anchorage teeth - traditional orthodontics can't be used. I broke my jaw when i was eleven when i was kicked by a horse and they wired my teeth together edge to edge. But i do feel that i would have had an underbite as my daughter who is now four knocked her two front teeth in half and then shortly afterwards started developing and underbite.? Look forward to some feedback. Warmest Regards Leisa Mari Bekkers

Anyone who was told to get this surgery. Check out Orthotropics, that's the least invasive approach.
