Jaw fractures are important injuries that cause both aesthetic and functional loss. Today, jaw trauma is very common. Increases in the number of motor vehicles, accidents due to alcoholic and fast driving, not wearing seat belts, falls from high, fights and suicide attempts may cause fractures in this region.

The aim of the treatment of jaw fractures is to ensure the interrelation of the teeth (occlusion) and to enable the patient to recover chewing and speech functions as soon as possible. Although different methods can be applied in the treatment, the aim is to bring the broken ends in front and fix them. For this purpose, methods such as fixing the lower and upper jaws made by using wires and shinings, fixing the lower and upper jaws with orthodontic brackets and fixing the broken line with mini-plates (titanium plates and screws) can be applied. Miniplates are advantageous for patient comfort, allowing the patient to begin chewing within a few days.
