Orthognathic Surgery
Jaw Straightening
Orthognathic surgery, or jaw straightening surgery, uses a spectrum of surgical procedures for the jaw and chin to improve both form and function.
What orthognathic surgery can treat
- Bite discrepancies, including overbite, underbite, crossbite and/or openbite.
- Facial imbalances such as asymmetry, upper and/or lower jaw under-development, lower jaw excess or chin deficiencies.
- Obstructive sleep apnea
Who is a good candidate for orthognathic surgery?
Good candidates for orthognathic surgery include:
- Those who have a bite discrepancy
- Those looking to improve facial disproportion
- Those who have spent years in orthodontics in an attempt to correct a skeletal problem
- Nonsmokers
- Individuals with a positive outlook and realistic goals
Orthognathic surgery is not the only modality to correct bite discrepancies, facial imbalances or obstructive sleep apnea, and other less invasive procedures may be appropriate.
