Is Corrective Jaw Surgery the right answer for you?

When patients have excessive difficulty with chewing, talking, sleeping or other routine activities, a Corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) might be the solution. This procedure treats and corrects abnormalities of the facial bones, specifically the jaws and the teeth and, in conjunction with orthodontic treatment, will improve the overall appearance of the facial profile.

The word “surgery” never sounds too comforting but computerized treatment planning minimizes treatment times, recovery periods and the overall efficacy of your surgery.

State-of-the-art materials such as titanium plates and miniature screws provide stability, strength and predictability to your treatment. These advances in technology, procedures and equipment reduce post-surgical recovery time, thus allowing patients to return to their normal routines soon after the surgery.

Orthognathic surgery may be unnecessary if orthodontic treatment can correct the problem. With the latest advances in orthodontics, this is sometimes the case.
