Led by Dr. Thomas George Arayathinal, a globally recognized expert in jaw and facial reconstructive surgery, we provide comprehensive care to correct jaw irregularities for improved functionality and aesthetics.
What is Orthognathic Surgery?
Orthognathic surgery, or corrective jaw surgery, addresses irregularities in the jaw and facial bones, enhancing both function and appearance. Misaligned jaws can lead to difficulties in chewing, breathing, speaking, and even facial harmony. This surgery involves advanced techniques to reposition the jaws for optimal alignment, relieving symptoms while improving your quality of life.

TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Disorders
What are TMJ Disorders?
TMJ disorders involve dysfunction in the joint connecting the jaw to the skull, often causing pain, popping sounds, and limited movement.
