Orthodontics alone are sufficient when only the teeth are misaligned, but sometimes surgery is the best way to correct misalignment of the jaws. Corrective jaw surgery moves your teeth and jaws into positions that are more balanced, functional, and healthy. For some, it’s a critical step to solve persistent problems and achieve a beautiful and pain-free smile that will last the rest of your life.
If you suffer from any of the following conditions, you may be an excellent candidate for corrective jaw surgery:
- Difficulty biting into food, chewing, or swallowing
- Speech issues
- Chronic jaw or jaw joint (TMJ) pain and headache
- Excessive wear of the teeth
- Open bite (space between the upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed)
- Straining to make lips meet
- Unbalanced facial appearance from the front or side
- Facial injury or birth defects
- Receding chin
- Protruding jaw
- Chronic mouth breathing and dry mouth
- Sleep apnea (breathing problems when sleeping, including snoring)
There’s no reason to live with painful, frustrating jaw conditions. Corrective surgery is an investment in your lifelong health and happiness.
