Maxillofacial surgery is a specialization of dentistry which focuses on problems around the mouth, jaw, and neck. A dentist or orthodontist may refer a patient for maxillofacial surgery if an issue in the mouth is too difficult to correct with orthodontics or basic dental procedures alone. A maxillofacial surgeon may remove severely impacted wisdom teeth, address facial pain, or fix overbites and jaw deformities. Typically, training for maxillofacial surgery includes reconstructive surgery, so that the surgeon can rebuild areas of the face which are in need of it.
After a severe accident, a patient may be referred to a maxillofacial surgeon if he or she has suffered severe facial injuries. Surgery can help to correct cosmetic and other damages to the face as a result of the accident. In addition to cleaning up the physical appearance of a damaged face, the surgeon can address nerve damage and other issues which may cause pain for the patient. Especially if the patient is treated quickly, the long term impacts of accident damages can be greatly reduced.
If a patient is diagnosed with cancer or tumors on the region of the face, maxillofacial surgery may play a role in the patient's treatment. For people with birth defects and deformities, a referral for maxillofacial surgery is often needed. Some surgeons specialize on the treatment of cleft lips and palates and other disfiguring deformities. Because the face is such a visible and important part of a person, many people with deformities feel awkward in society. Maxillofacial surgery can change this, giving the patient more confidence in his or her daily life. |
