Oral and maxillofacial surgery

What is pediatric maxillofacial surgery? 

Pediatric maxillofacial surgery focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of congenital or acquired diseases and defects of the face, mouth, teeth, and jaws in children and adolescents. This specialty requires specific training and extensive experience in managing developing facial structures, as children have different anatomical and physiological characteristics than adults.  

At HM Hospitales, thanks to this specialty, we can treat a wide range of conditions, such as cleft lip and palate, craniofacial malformations, facial injuries, jaw development problems, benign and malignant tumors of the head and neck, and temporomandibular joint problems. In addition, this specialty also deals with orthognathic surgery in adolescents to correct malocclusions and improve facial harmony. If someone in your family or circle needs surgery of this kind, do not hesitate to make an appointment.
