Jaw Surgery

Your jaws influence the position of your teeth and affect your smile and facial balance. Some problems can be corrected if identified early and treated at the appropriate age while growing.

However in non-growing patients Jaw surgery (Orthognathic surgery) may be an option to achieve both facial and dental harmony.

Common reasons for patients seeking jaw surgery include:

• “Chin Sticks out”
• “Chin setback”
• “Front teeth stick out”
• “Difficulty eating due to gap between front teeth” (Anterior Open Bite)
• “Show too much gum when smiling”
• “Show too little tooth when smiling”
• “Asymmetric jaw/face”
