Mandibular osteotomy in Clínicas Udemax
About the clinic
Mandibular osteotomy at Clínicas Udemax in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, is a specialized surgery to correct jaw alignment and bite issues. The procedure is performed by Dr. Ángel Cabanes Téllez, a specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery. This surgery helps patients with retrognathia, sleep apnea, and functional chewing problems by advancing the lower jaw into a healthy position.
Surgical Approach and Technology
Dr. Ángel Cabanes Téllez uses a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy to move the mandible forward. The surgeon fixes the jaw in its new position using biocompatible titanium plates. These plates help keep the jaw stable during the healing process. The procedure takes place at the Udemax Miramar clinic, which is located within a hospital setting. This allows for the use of conscious sedation monitored by an anesthesiologist to help patients stay comfortable.
Treatment Protocol and Orthodontics
Success with mandibular advancement requires a combined approach with orthodontics. Patients typically need braces before surgery to stabilize the bite. After the operation, another phase of orthodontics helps finalize the alignment of the teeth. This process addresses both the physical function of the jaw and the overall appearance of the face. The surgery helps clear airway obstructions, which often improves symptoms of sleep apnea.
Recovery and Care
Most patients need about one month to recover from the surgery. During the first few weeks, swelling is common. Patients often find it difficult to speak or eat solid foods immediately after the procedure. The medical team provides specific instructions for diet and oral care during this healing phase. This helps the bone knit properly with the titanium supports.
Specialist Expertise
Dr. Ángel Cabanes Téllez leads the maxillofacial department at Clínicas Udemax. He received his training at Son Espases University Hospital. Dr. Ángel Cabanes Téllez is also a co-author of the SECOM Manual of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. His work focuses on advanced oral surgery, implantology, and oncological procedures.

Clínicas Udemax: more details about the clinic
Clínicas Udemax is a private dental group in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Dr. Emilio Martínez-Almoyna Rullán founded it in 1977. The group operates three branches: Udemax Miramar, Emardental, and Arcdental. This setup allows specialized care for adults and children across multiple facilities.
Experience and Statistics
The medical team includes 24 doctors covering all areas of dentistry. With over 45 years in Mallorca, the group has built a consistent presence in the region. The clinic reports a success rate above 98% for dental implant procedures.
Specialties and Procedures
The clinic provides care across several key departments. These include implantology, oral surgery, and orthodontics. Specialists lead each department to ensure focused care for specific dental needs.
Implantology and Oral Surgery
The implantology team restores function and appearance through various surgical techniques. Specialists perform several advanced procedures:
- Immediate load dental implants for same-day tooth replacement
- Maxillary sinus lifts to prepare for implant placement
- Bone grafting for patients with insufficient jaw bone density
- Full-arch oral rehabilitation
For immediate load implants, surgeons extract teeth and place a temporary crown in one visit. Patients receive the final restoration after the implant fuses with the bone. Dr. Ángel Cabanes Téllez leads the maxillofacial unit. He focuses on corrective jaw surgery and complex extractions.
Orthodontics and Aesthetics
The clinic uses digital workflows to plan orthodontic and cosmetic treatments. Invisalign events let patients view simulated results before starting invisible brace therapy. Aesthetic services include:
- Porcelain and composite veneers
- Lumineers for ultra-thin tooth covering
- Professional internal and external teeth whitening
- Gingivectomy to reshape gum tissue
Specialists use Digital Smile Design (DSD) to help patients pick the right veneer shape and shade. The process includes an in-mouth mock-up, so patients can see the look before permanent cementation.
Biological Dentistry and Pediatric Care
The clinic offers dental ozone therapy as a biological add-on to standard treatments. This therapy provides antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits during surgeries and root canals. Arcdental is the dedicated pediatric branch, where specialists provide:
- Childhood caries (cavity) treatment
- Pulpectomies – root canal therapy for baby teeth
- Dental sealants to prevent decay in children
- Conscious sedation for anxious young patients
These services support dental health from infancy through adolescence in a child-focused setting.
Equipment and Technologies
Clínicas Udemax uses a digital diagnostic suite to plan surgical and restorative procedures. The facility has Cone Beam CT scanning for 3D bone assessment. Other tools include panoramic and periapical X-rays for detailed imaging of teeth and roots. Dental lasers stimulate tissue healing and improve disinfection during ozone therapy.
International Patient Services
The clinic treats international patients with help from a multilingual reception team. Support is available in English and Spanish for scheduling and treatment explanations. For patients with high anxiety or complex surgical needs, an anesthetist can provide conscious sedation.
