If orthognathic surgery is indicated, preoperative orthodontic treatment tailored to the individual case will be initiated. Patients may also receive preoperative treatment at an external orthodontic clinic and then undergo orthognathic surgery at our hospital. After orthognathic surgery, postoperative orthodontic treatment is conducted to fine-tune the occlusion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pre surgical 3D Simulation<\/strong><br>By using dedicated software to perform preoperative 3D simulations in every case, we achieve highly predictable, minimally invasive surgical procedures.\u3002<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Surgical Orthodontic Treatment<\/strong><br>Tailored to each individual case, we perform the most appropriate orthognathic surgery. Surgical options include two-jaw osteotomy, one jaw osteotomy (maxilla or mandible), genioplasty, and distraction osteogenesis. In some cases, reduction glossectomy or temporomandibular joint surgery may also be incorporated into the treatment plan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Treatment of Highly Complex Cases<\/strong><br>Under close collaboration among all relevant departments, we provide comprehensive, specialized treatment for severe cases associated with congenital anomalies such as cleft lip and palate, as well as those involving condylar resorption and deformity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-vk-blocks-spacer vk_spacer vk_spacer-type-margin-top\"><div class=\"vk_block-margin-lg--margin-top\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Message from the Director<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, demand for orthognathic surgery has increased dramatically. Our patients represent a wide range of ages and treatment backgrounds, and some have only become aware of surgical treatment options in the past few years. Our approach to jaw deformity treatment not only corrects occlusion but also aims to enhance facial aesthetics and functional outcomes. We are committed to delivering the optimal, individualized care for each patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Yusuke YOKOTA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-vk-blocks-spacer
