Orthognathic Surgery

Corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) treats and corrects abnormalities of the facial bones, specifically the jaws and the teeth. Often, jaw/teeth abnormalities cause difficulty associated with routine activities such as:

  • Chewing
  • Talking
  • Sleeping

Using the latest in digital imaging technology, we will demonstrate the overall functional and aesthetic benefits of orthognathic surgery. Computerized treatment planning minimizes:

  • Treatment times
  • Recovery periods

State-of-the-art materials (such as titanium plates and miniature screws) provide:

  • Stability
  • Strength
  • Predictability
  • Reduced post-surgical recovery time

Orthognathic surgery may be unnecessary if orthodontic treatment can correct the problem. With the latest advances in orthodontics, this is sometimes the case. Our doctors will determine if orthognathic surgery is the appropriate treatment option for you.
