🔦 Procedure Spotlight: Maxillomandibular Advancement(MMA) Surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea(OSA) 🔦

💤 MMA effectively treats OSA by moving the upper and lower jaw forward to relieve airway obstruction, providing lasting relief and improved sleep quality.
The procedure also involves suspending the attached pharyngeal airway muscles in an anterior position and increasing pharyngeal soft tissue tension, further enhancing airflow and reducing apnea events.
Pre-surgical virtual scanning with 3-D imaging ensures precision and efficiency in the operating room, maximizing patient surgical outcomes.

💡 Let's shed some light

🚫 Myth: Wisdom teeth must always be removed.
✅ Fact: Wisdom teeth don’t always cause trouble when they do show up. In fact, there may not even be a need for extraction if they are healthy and properly aligned.

🔍 However, most will eventually need to be removed due to impaction, risk to neighboring healthy teeth, or hygienic difficulties, which can lead to cavities or infection.

Ready to have your Wisdom teeth extracted, call us today ☎️ 773-296-7645

Dealing with a Broken Nose? Here’s What You Should Know 👃

Nasal injuries can lead to a range of complications, and it’s essential to be aware of them:

🔹 Deviated Septum: A broken nose can result in a deviated septum, blocking your nasal passage. Medications can provide temporary relief, but surgery might be needed for a long-term solution.

🔹 Septal Hematoma: Blood can collect in the nasal area, causing a septal hematoma requiring surgical drainage to prevent cartilage damage.

🔹 Bone and Cartilage Fractures: Severe impacts may cause bone and cartilage fractures, often needing surgical intervention for proper healing.

🔹 Neck Injuries: A significant blow to the nose can also impact the neck, making immediate medical attention essential.

At OMHNA, we specialize in treating facial trauma. Contact us today to get the expert care you need ☎️ 773-296-7645.

🔹 Internal Derangements: Correcting displaced discs or misalignment in the joint.
🔹 Inflammation: Reducing pain and swelling caused by conditions like synovitis.
🔹 Scar Tissue Removal: Clearing adhesions that can restrict movement.
🔹 Joint Locking: Treating "jaw locking" where the joint is severely restricted.

TMJ arthroscopy provides relief with quicker recovery and less pain than traditional surgery.
