Precise Repositioning of Jaw Segments
Segmental osteotomy allows precise repositioning of specific jaw segments to correct localized bite problems, close gaps, or adjust tooth positions that cannot be achieved with orthodontics alone.
Applications

Excessive gingival display
Dental spacing issues
Alveolar protrusion
Localized malocclusion
Post-extraction gaps
Types of Segmental Procedures
Anterior Maxillary Segmental
Repositioning front upper teeth and bone
Posterior Segmental
Adjusting back segments for bite correction
Multi-Segment
Complex repositioning of multiple segments
Advantages
- • Precise correction of localized problems
- • Shorter treatment time than full jaw surgery
- • Can be combined with orthodontics
- • Improved facial aesthetics and function
