Correct Function. Improve Appearance. Enhance Confidence.
Jaw Surgery
Jaw surgery can improve chewing, speaking, breathing, and overall facial aesthetics, transforming both oral health and quality of life.
What is Jaw Surgery?
Jaw misalignment can be congenital (present at birth) or develop due to growth patterns, injury, or medical conditions.
Jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a corrective procedure performed to realign the jaws and teeth when they don’t meet correctly. It’s often recommended when orthodontic treatment alone cannot achieve proper bite function or facial harmony.
Who Needs Jaw Surgery?
You may be a candidate for jaw surgery if you have:
-
A misaligned bite (overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite)
-
Difficulty chewing or biting food
-
Speech challenges due to jaw positioning
-
Breathing problems (such as sleep apnea)
-
Chronic jaw pain or TMJ issues
-
Facial imbalance or asymmetry
-
A receding or protruding jaw
