RESTORING JAW FUNCTION & APPEARANCE

What Is Orthognathic Surgery?

Orthognathic surgery can treat improper jaw development or trauma to the jaw. Orthognathic surgery can correct the relationship of your upper and lower jaw, resulting in a healthier bite alignment. A misaligned jaw can cause both functional and cosmetic concerns. Common conditions that may require jaw surgery include severe overbites or underbites, where the upper or lower jaw protrudes significantly, causing difficulty in chewing, speaking, and facial imbalance. It also addresses open bites, where the upper and lower teeth do not meet when the mouth is closed, and crossbites, where the upper and lower jaws are misaligned laterally. These issues can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and dental problems.

How Do I Know If Orthognathic Surgery Is Right For Me?

Orthognathic surgery can solve a wide range of jaw problems including jawbone damage caused by facial trauma, TMJ, sleep apnea, misaligned bites, and more. Jaw surgery can offer improvements to facial appearance, chronic jaw pain, difficulty eating or swallowing, speech problems, breathing problems, and more. Orthognathic surgery should only become an option once less-invasive options have proven to be unsuccessful or the severity of the case supersedes non-surgical remedies.
