Corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) treats and
corrects abnormalities of the facial bones, specifically the jaws and
the teeth. Often, these abnormalities cause difficulty associated with
chewing, talking, sleeping and other routine activities. Orthognathic
surgery corrects these problems and, in conjunction with orthodontic
treatment, will improve the overall appearance of the facial profile.
Orthognathic surgery may be unnecessary if orthodontic
treatment can correct the problem. With the latest advances in
orthodontics, this is sometimes the case. We will determine if
orthognathic surgery is the correct treatment option for you.
