Orthognathic Surgery in Bangkok – Thailand



Orthognathic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand can be considered by those seeking easy-on-the-pocket surgical solutions to misalignment of jaws and other problems such as an under- or over-bite, protruding or retruding  upper and lower jaw and  pain caused by Tempromandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders.
