Orthognathic Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) corrects functional and esthetic problems that are due to underlying skeletal deformities. Orthognathic surgery is often the treatment solution in cases where the bite problem is so severe that braces alone aren't enough to correct the problem, or where orthodontics alone would compromise your facial appearance.
Recent technologic advances have dramatically improved the predictability of jaw surgery, and reduced the post-surgical recovery time, thus allowing patients to return to their normal routines soon after the surgery.
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.
