Orthognathic Surgery

Why Do I Need Corrective Jaw Surgery?

There are many reasons why a patient may be a candidate for corrective jaw surgery. A misaligned jaw can affect the mouth and facial structure, including

• Difficulty or inability to chew and grind food
• Digestive problems
• Snoring and sleep apnea
• Heavy breathing
• Impaired speech
• Poor facial aesthetics
• Dental crowding
• The inability to close the lips

Orthognathic surgery is a complex procedure that requires careful planning. If you have been recommended for corrective jaw surgery, our oral surgeon will meet with you during your consultation to create a customized treatment plan just for you. At Oral Surgery Services, we utilize state-of-the-art techniques to ensure optimal surgical planning and outcomes. Our experienced oral surgeons will work with your dentist and orthodontist to provide the best possible experience.

Orthognathic surgery primarily aims to correct the jaw’s function, but patients who have undergone corrective jaw surgery can expect several other benefits, such as

• Enhanced facial aesthetics
• Improved chewing, speech, and breathing
• Reduced treatment time

The function of the teeth and jaws is essential to oral and overall health. At Oral Surgery Services, we want to help. Our oral surgeons have undergone years of training to perform these specialized procedures and understand how to restore function, balance, and aesthetics to the facial structure.
