Sagittal split osteotomy is one of the many surgical processes that improve the functioning of the jaw. When the size of a person’s lower jaw and the upper jaw is not the same, they result in overbite and underbite. Overbite is an excessive projection in the upper jaw, while in underbite the lower jaw is a bit projected than its original form, causing the jaw and teeth to come out beyond symmetry. Due to overbite and underbite, the teeth and jaw do not fit in the mouth, and hence there is not ample space for the teeth inside the jaw. Sagittal split osteotomy corrects this disorder efficiently.
