Maxillofacial trauma refers to injuries to the face, jaw, mouth, and facial bones resulting from accidents, falls, or impacts. These injuries can affect appearance, jaw movement, bite alignment, speech, and overall facial function. Treatment aims to restore facial structure by stabilizing fractures, repairing soft tissues, and improving both form and function. Careful evaluation using clinical assessment and imaging helps guide realignment and fixation of damaged bones while preserving nerves and blood supply. With timely and expert treatment, patients can regain facial balance, reduce discomfort, and support normal daily activities and healing.
