Orthognathic orthodontics refers to a therapeutic approach that leverages the growth and development characteristics of teeth and jawbones, along with orthodontic theories and techniques, to correct malocclusions and improper jaw alignment, thereby improving the form and function of the oral cavity and facial appearance. This treatment can correct congenital skeletal developmental abnormalities and also improve issues such as poor occlusion, misaligned teeth, protruding front teeth, and mandibular retrusion. Additionally, it enhances oral hygiene, improves oral function and chewing ability, refines facial contours, and positively impacts quality of life and self-confidence. Orthognathic orthodontic treatment mainly consists of two approaches: traditional braces and invisible aligners, each having its own advantages and disadvantages.

In daily life, it is advisable to maintain good oral and dental hygiene by brushing teeth regularly and rinsing the mouth after meals. A light diet is recommended, avoiding spicy or irritating foods such as garlic, hot pot, wasabi, etc. Adequate rest should be ensured, and excessive fatigue should be avoided to prevent adverse effects on overall health.
