Most of us are familiar with oral surgery is, and many of us have had it before in the form of wisdom teeth removal, tooth extractions and dental implants. However, while oral surgery might be well known among the public, faciomaxillary surgery is largely unknown.
The maxillae are the two bones that come together at the roof of the mouth to form the upper jaw in humans. This is where the term “maxilla” comes from. Likewise, facial is more self-explanatory, referring to the face. Thus, Faciomaxillary surgery deals with any diseases, disorders, injuries or defects that affect either the jaw or the facial regions of a person.
