Why Should I Get Jaw Surgery?
Jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a surgical procedure designed to correct misalignment of the jaws and teeth. This misalignment can cause a range of problems, including difficulty biting, chewing, speaking, chronic jaw pain, and facial asymmetry. In some cases, jaw misalignment can also contribute to sleep apnea, a potentially serious condition that affects breathing during sleep. By undergoing jaw surgery, you can address these functional and aesthetic concerns, improving your oral health, facial appearance, and overall quality of life.
Benefits of Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery
Improve Oral Function
Jaw surgery can correct bite problems, making it easier for you to chew, speak, and swallow comfortably. By aligning your jaws and teeth properly, you can enjoy better oral function and a more balanced, healthy bite.
Alleviate Jaw Pain and Headaches
Misaligned jaws can cause chronic jaw pain, headaches, and even neck and shoulder pain. By correcting the alignment of your jaws, orthognathic surgery can alleviate these symptoms and improve your overall comfort and well-being.
Enhance Facial Appearance
Jaw surgery can improve facial symmetry and balance, creating a more harmonious and attractive facial appearance. This can boost your self-confidence and help you feel more comfortable in social and professional situations.
The Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery Treatment Process
Comprehensive Evaluation and Treatment Planning
Your jaw surgery journey begins with a thorough evaluation, including advanced iCAT 3D imaging to assess your jaw alignment and facial structure. Our team will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals.
Pre-Surgical Orthodontics
In most cases, jaw surgery is performed in conjunction with orthodontic treatment to ensure optimal results. Before surgery, you may need to wear braces or aligners to properly align your teeth in preparation for the surgical procedure.
Surgical Procedure and Recovery
Our skilled oral and maxillofacial surgeons will perform the jaw surgery using the latest techniques and technology to ensure precision and minimize recovery time. After surgery, our team will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions and support to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.
