Corrective Jaw Surgery

Corrective jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a procedure to realign the upper and lower jaw. It’s performed to improve bite function, facial aesthetics, and overall oral health. This surgery is typically recommended for individuals with jaw discrepancies that cause difficulties in chewing, speaking, or lead to discomfort. The procedure involves repositioning the jaw bones and securing them with plates and screws. Recovery varies, but it significantly enhances quality of life by correcting misalignments and improving facial symmetry. Patients usually work closely with orthodontists and surgeons for optimal results.
