Orthognathic surgery in Clínicas Udemax
About the clinic
Orthognathic surgery at Clínicas Udemax in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, corrects jaw alignment to improve bite function and facial balance. This surgical treatment is performed by specialists with over 40 years of clinical experience in a hospital-based setting. The procedure offers a solution for patients with severe skeletal issues that braces alone cannot fix.
Expert Maxillofacial Care
Dr. Ángel Cabanes Téllez leads the surgical team for jaw correction at the clinic. Dr. Ángel Cabanes Téllez is a specialist in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery who trained at the Son Espases University Hospital. He has contributed to the SECOM medical manual, showing his deep knowledge of facial bone structures. Dr. Ángel Cabanes Téllez focuses on precise movements of the upper and lower jaws to restore harmony.
Surgical Methods and Inclusions
The clinic performs different types of jaw surgery based on the patient's specific needs. These methods include maxillary osteotomy for the upper jaw and mandibular advancement for the lower jaw. Surgeons make bone cuts inside the mouth to avoid visible scars on the face. They use biocompatible titanium plates to fix the bones in their new, correct positions. Patients can choose conscious sedation with a dedicated anesthesiologist for a more comfortable experience.
Indications and Treatment Goals
This surgery addresses several functional and aesthetic concerns at once. It is a primary treatment for Class II and Class III malocclusions, often known as an overbite or underbite. Doctors also use this method to treat sleep apnoea by opening the airway. Other common reasons for surgery include:
- Open bites or crossbites
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
- Gummy smiles caused by jaw position
- Skeletal facial disharmony
Recovery and Orthodontic Integration
Orthognathic surgery requires a close partnership with orthodontics. Most patients need braces both before and after the operation to align the teeth with the new jaw position. The recovery period typically lasts about one month before a patient returns to their normal routine. During the first few weeks, patients should expect swelling and changes in their ability to eat or speak. The procedure takes place within Hospital Juaneda Miramar, providing a safe environment for complex surgery.

How are we doing?
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.
