Jaw Fractures

What are Jaw Fractures?

Jaw fractures, or mandibular fractures, are serious injuries where the lower or upper jawbone is cracked or broken due to trauma, accidents, or falls. At Face Mile – The Dentofacial Clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating jaw fractures with advanced surgical techniques and personalized care.

What causes Jaw Fractures?

Common causes include road traffic accidents, sports injuries, physical assaults, or falls. The fracture may result in pain, swelling, misaligned teeth, or difficulty in opening the mouth or speaking.

How are Jaw Fractures treated?

Treatment depends on the severity and location of the fracture. Options may include wiring the jaw, using metal plates and screws (ORIF – Open Reduction and Internal Fixation), or conservative approaches with regular monitoring. Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons ensure precise, minimally invasive repair with optimal healing outcomes.
