As a result of a traffic accident or collision, one, several, or all of the facial bones may be fractured. These fractures are repaired using special screws and plates. In some cases, the desired results can be achieved using non-surgical, conservative methods.
Facial Fracture Treatment
Facial bones are structures that are quite important both functionally and aesthetically. Fractures of the eye sockets, or orbits, which house the eyes, can cause a visual impairment known as double vision. In addition, differences in eye levels can also cause quite noticeable aesthetic imperfections. The eyes may appear sunken.
Fractures in the nasal bones and cartilage cause breathing difficulties in addition to aesthetic deformities.
Fractures in the sinus bones cause infection and general health problems in addition to visual impairment.
Fractures of the upper and lower jaws cause the teeth to lose contact with each other, leading to impaired chewing function and facial distortion.
In general, fractures of the facial bones cause collapse, protrusion, and deformities, which are reflected in the skin and aesthetically distort the shape and structure of the person's face.
