Maxillofacial surgery can address a wide range of conditions affecting the face, jaws, and mouth. Some of the most common conditions treated by maxillofacial surgeons include:

Corrective Jaw Surgery: This type of surgery is performed to correct jaw deformities that can affect the bite, speech, and facial appearance. It is often used to treat conditions such as overbite, underbite, and crossbite.
Facial Trauma: Maxillofacial surgeons are trained to treat a wide range of facial injuries, including fractures of the facial bones, soft tissue injuries, and facial lacerations.
Facial and Oral Pathology: This branch of maxillofacial surgery focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of tumors and other abnormalities affecting the face, jaws, and mouth.
Cleft Lip and Palate Repair: Maxillofacial surgeons are often part of a multidisciplinary team involved in the treatment of patients with cleft lip and palate. They play a crucial role in reconstructing the lip and palate to improve speech, feeding, and appearance.
Dental Implant Placement: Maxillofacial surgeons are often involved in the placement of dental implants, which are used to replace missing teeth.
Wisdom Teeth Removal: Maxillofacial surgeons are also skilled in the removal of wisdom teeth, which can cause pain, infection, and other complications if left untreated.
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders: Maxillofacial surgeons can diagnose and treat conditions affecting the TMJ, which can cause pain, clicking, and other symptoms.
