Understanding Jaw Deformities in the Indian Context
Jaw deformities arise from genetic patterns, childhood habits, trauma, or airway-driven adaptations. In Telangana, adolescent orthodontic care is often delayed, leading to adult malocclusion, sleep apnea, or TMJ pain. Ajuda Hospitals bridges orthodontics and surgery so IT professionals, students, and brides-to-be from HITEC City to Karimnagar can align function and aesthetics without travelling abroad.
We follow AAOMS and AOMSI guidelines while tailoring diet, speech therapy, and recovery to Indian routines. Multilingual counsellors explain each step in Telugu, Hindi, or Urdu, ensuring families understand timelines and cashless insurance pathways.
When to Consult Our Orthognathic Surgeons
⚠️ Seek early evaluation if you experience:
- ✓ Persistent jaw pain, clicking, or headaches
- ✓ Difficulty biting into foods or chewing evenly
- ✓ Mouth breathing, loud snoring, or daytime fatigue
- ✓ Facial asymmetry affecting confidence or photos
Routine consultation is ideal before major life events—weddings, career moves abroad, or university admissions—so treatment planning aligns with your schedule.
Our Diagnostic Approach
Multidisciplinary Evaluation
Orthodontists, maxillofacial surgeons, and speech/airway specialists assess bite, profile, and airway status. Sleep studies are advised for suspected OSA.
Imaging & Digital Records
CBCT and cephalometric analyses quantify skeletal discrepancies. Intraoral scanners capture digital impressions for precise modelling.
Virtual Surgical Planning
We simulate jaw movements, predict soft-tissue changes, and fabricate splints or patient-specific plates. Patients review outcomes with 3D renderings.
Orthodontic Coordination
We finalise a braces or aligner timeline, surgery-first candidacy, and post-op retention plan. Financial counsellors facilitate TPA or Aarogyasri approvals.
Treatment Pathways
- Pre-Surgical Orthodontics: Aligns teeth for accurate occlusion post-surgery. Clear aligners or braces used based on case complexity.
- Bimaxillary Surgery: Le Fort I, BSSO, genioplasty, and segmentation as required to correct open bite, deep bite, or facial asymmetry.
- Surgery-First Protocol: Selected cases skip long pre-orthodontics, delivering instant facial balance and motivating compliance.
- Airway-Focused Advancement: Maxillomandibular advancement expands airway volume for severe OSA, validated by post-op sleep studies.
- Distraction Osteogenesis: Gradual jaw advancement for severe deficiencies, craniofacial syndromes, or relapse cases.
- Rehabilitation: Dieticians, physiotherapists, and speech therapists support healing. Tele follow-ups guide elastics and exercises for outstation patients.
What to Expect: Your Care Journey
- Planning Month: Diagnostics, VSP, and braces or aligner initiation. Insurance submissions processed simultaneously.
- Surgery Week: Admission on Day 0, surgery on Day 1, ICU monitoring for 24 hours, discharge by Day 3 with dietician counselling.
- Weeks 1-6: Soft diet, elastics, and gentle exercises. Remote monitoring ensures compliance. Return to desk work in 2-3 weeks.
- Months 3-6: Orthodontic finishing, facial physiotherapy, and optional cosmetic refinements (chin, cheek enhancements).
- One Year & Beyond: Retainers, final sleep study (if OSA), and annual bite checks secure long-term success.
Technology & Innovation
Ajuda deploys 3Shape, Dolphin Imaging, and Stryker VSP workflows. Surgical splints are 3D printed in sterilizable materials. Intraoperative navigation and piezosurgery ensure precise osteotomies with less bleeding. Patients access secure portals to review simulations and progress.
Benefits include:
- Predictable aesthetic and functional outcomes
- Shorter OR time, reducing swelling and infection risk
- Enhanced patient education and informed consent
Preventing Complications
We control bleeding with hypotensive anesthesia, use rigid fixation for stability, and prescribe prophylaxis against infection. Nutritionists craft high-protein liquid diets featuring millets, dal soups, and Hyderabad-friendly recipes. TMJ therapy prevents stiffness. Smoking cessation programs and glycemic control reduce relapse risk.
