Backed by the Global Pioneer in Complex Oral and Facial Rehabilitation

Maxillary osteotomy at Malo Dental Bogotá offers advanced surgical correction for patients suffering from jaw misalignment, facial imbalance, or bite dysfunction. Performed by internationally trained maxillofacial surgeons following Dr. Paulo Maló’s globally recognized standards, this procedure repositions the upper jaw (maxilla) to restore facial harmony, improve chewing function, and resolve speech or breathing concerns.

Whether for functional or aesthetic reasons, maxillary osteotomy is a transformative solution—with world-class care at a fraction of U.S. prices.

🔍 What Is a Dental Veneer Treatment?

Maxillary osteotomy is a surgical procedure to reposition the upper jaw (maxilla). It’s used to correct skeletal and dental irregularities such as an open bite, underbite, crossbite, or midface retrusion. Through this procedure, the surgeon cuts the bone of the upper jaw and moves it into a new position, aligning it with the lower jaw and enhancing both function and facial symmetry. This surgery is often recommended for patients who cannot achieve proper bite or aesthetic balance through orthodontics alone. When combined with orthodontic care, maxillary osteotomy delivers transformative, life-enhancing results.

    My experience at Malo Dental was excellent. I’m so happy with the results — I can finally bite into food like normal people do AND actually chew properly. As an added bonus, my smile looks dazzling. See? 😁 The staff was so kind and caring throughout the whole process, and everything was efficient, professional, and spotless. They really helped put me at ease, especially Dr. Carlos and his soothing voice. I would absolutely come back again… except I'll likely never need to do so!

    I traveled from the U.S. to have two premolars removed as recommended by my orthodontist. Dr. Nidia Pinilla scheduled a virtual consultation and guided me through everything with professionalism and warmth, making me feel confident moving forward. Dr. Johan Basterrechea performed my extractions and was incredibly kind and calming. I was nervous, but his gentle approach made the procedure completely painless.
