Jaw Surgery

Jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a procedure that corrects misalignments of the jaw and teeth. It can address issues like overbites, underbites, and facial asymmetry, improving both function and appearance. The surgery involves repositioning the upper and/or lower jaw to ensure a better bite and enhance facial harmony. Typically performed by an oral surgeon, it requires careful planning, including imaging and models. Recovery may take several weeks, and while it can be intimidating, many patients experience significant benefits in chewing, speaking, and overall quality of life afterwards.
