5 Reasons to Move Forward with Your Cosmetic Jaw Surgery in Singapore
on September 2, 2014
Are you considering cosmetic jaw surgery in Singapore to correct aesthetic issues related to misaligned or mismatched jaws? If surgery has been recommended for you, there's no doubt that it's a big step, and the thought of taking that step can be intimidating. After all, it isn't a minor surgery, and with the necessary orthodontic treatment before and after the actual surgery, it's a long process. So what are the most compelling reasons to move forward with your jaw surgery?
It's A Permanent Solution To Jaw Problems
Chances are that you've already been through orthodontic treatment or have considered it to improve your oral function and appearance. Perhaps you have considered or even tried cosmetic procedures like Botox or fillers to improve facial harmony. However, if your malocclusion or unbalanced facial appearance is caused by misaligned or mismatched jaws – a condition referred to as a skeletal malocclusion – orthodontic care or those cosmetic fixes can only, at the very best, camouflage the problem to some extent. Jaw surgery, on the other hand, gets to the root of the problem, repositioning or resizing the jaws to make them meet properly, providing effective and permanent results – correcting skeletal malocclusions and the aesthetic problems that they cause, rather than just hiding them.
Because Appearance Issues Affect Your Quality of Life
Aesthetic issues are not a frivolous concern and they are only discounted as such by people who have never been affected by them. Fact is, if your appearance is significantly affected by poorly aligned or mismatched jaws, chances are it has affected your self-esteem and self-confidence, made you feel self-conscious in social situations and perhaps has even had an impact on your professional life. If so, jaw surgery in Singapore is certainly not just about appearances – it's about quality of life.
To Prevent Future Complications
Leaving skeletal malocclusions – like underbite, overbite, cross bite or open bite – untreated can lead to long-term complications, even if they are relatively minor and don't seem to be causing any obvious functional issues. Among the possibilities are chronic headaches, jaw pain and abnormal tooth wear, which can lead to dental decay, tooth loosening and gum disease, among other issues.
Speech Is A Problem For You
Skeletal malocclusions can cause speech problems that vary from severe issues with speech clarity to minor lisping, and in some cases, they can make it very difficult for people to avoid spraying saliva as they speak. If you have difficulty or discomfort with speech, proper alignment of the jaws via cosmetic jaw surgery in Singapore can resolve those issues.
To Correct Breathing Problems/Sleep Apnea
Misaligned jaws can make breathing normally through the nose a challenge. It is also a fairly common cause of sleep apnea, a condition in which people have difficulty breathing as they sleep – often having airways obstructed repeatedly at night, making deep, restful sleep impossible. Of course, poor sleep can affect your health – it's even a risk factor for heart disease – and your quality of life.
So there you are, 5 good reasons to move forward with your cosmetic jaw surgery in Singapore. All-in-all, patients who do go through with surgery are typically very pleased that they did, the improvements in appearance and quality of life proving well worth the time and effort that goes into the jaw surgery process. In fact, many patients have described the process – especially the results – as a life-changing experience.
