Do I Need Jaw Surgery?

Orthognathic (jaw) surgery may help correct issues such as difficulty chewing or swallowing, speech problems, breathing issues including sleep apnea, and concerns like an open bite or a protruding or recessed jaw. These conditions are often caused by genetics, injury, or developmental factors. A consultation with our team and your orthodontist will determine if surgery is the right option for you.

How It Works

Orthognathic surgery is a team effort between:

1 - Your Orthodontist

Aligns your teeth

before and after surgery.

2 - Your Oral Surgeon

Performs the jaw surgery

to reposition your jaws.

3 - Your General Dentist

Supports your oral health

throughout treatment

Together, we create a personalized treatment plan to restore balance and function to your bite and jaw.

Benefits

The results can dramatically improve your quality of life – both functionally and aesthetically.

Improved ability to chew and speak
Relief from jaw pain or discomfort
Enhanced facial symmetry and appearance
Better breathing (especially for sleep apnea sufferers)
Long-term oral health improvements

Thinking About Cosmetic Enhancements?

Some patients choose to pair jaw surgery with additional cosmetic procedures (like chin, cheek, or neck contouring) to enhance their final look. Our doctors can help guide these decisions, including timing and suitability.
