Everyone wants to be perfect, but everyone's appearance is doomed and can't be chosen. Especially for teeth, its function is not only reflected in chewing, but also has a certain effect on the overall image, so everyone wants their teeth to be arranged neatly. However, some people choose orthognathic surgery to solve this problem. As long as surgery is performed, there will be sequelae.

Injury of inferior alveolar nerve

The inferior alveolar nerve mainly controls the sensation of skin near mandibular teeth and lower lip. Because the nerve passes through the mandible near the incision during sagittal split of mandible, it may be damaged by vibration and traction during the operation, or it may be injured when fixing the bone block.

Postoperative bleeding and hematoma

Because the periosteum in the operation area needs to be peeled off, there may be blood clots and swelling, which is called hematoma in medicine. The probability of it happening is about 20 to 30%.

Postoperative infection

All operations have the chance of infection. Because the incision of orthognathic surgery is mostly in the oral cavity, poor oral hygiene and abnormal life and rest after operation will increase the chance of infection.

The above are some sequelae of orthognathic surgery, which you can learn about. In addition, any operation will have certain risks, so it is suggested that regular hospitals and experienced doctors must be selected for operation, so as to improve their own safety.
